Abstract
Potassium is an ion that plays an important role in the body. not only the ion but also ion channels play a role in maintaining body homeostasis. The movement of ions within cells is assisted by ATP and has a role in metabolic activity. Abnormalities in the oral cavity such as periodontal disorders are one of the disorders that are correlated with potassium. Periodontitis is associated with proinflammatory factors such as TNF alpha and IL-6 which turns out to be related to potassium. Apart from that, individuals who lose teeth are related to their potassium intake. Potassium regulates intracellular organ pH, which is crucial for the enzymatic control of the body's metabolism.
