The aim of the present study is to assess the association between CP and ED through a systematic review of published literature. To address the focused question, “Is there a relationship between ED and CP?” indexed databases were searched till December 2015 using various key words “erectile dysfunction,” “periodontal disease,” “periodontitis,” “dental infection,” and “impotence.” Letters to the editor, commentaries, historic reviews, and experimental studies were excluded.

In all studies, a positive relationship between CP and ED was reported. In four studies, odds ratio were reported, ranging between 1.53 and 3.35.
