    Study Notes

    1. Oral infection, especially periodontitis, may alter the course of systemic diseases.
    2. Association does not necessarily mean causation.
    3. It is not possible to establish causality between periodontitis and systemic disease.
    4. Periodontitis imparts increased risk for future cardiovascular disease.
    5. Adverse pregnancy outcomes have been associated with periodontitis.
    6. Dental team members should inquire about pregnancy status and plan periodontal therapy accordingly.
    7. Periodontitis is associated with adverse effects on glycemic control in individuals with diabetes.
    8. Periodontal therapy may result in improved insulin sensitivity and glycemic control.
    9. There is a need for longitudinal clinical studies to establish the association between chronic conditions and periodontitis.
    10. Patients with chronic conditions should be informed of the possible impact of periodontal infection on their health.
    11. Periodontitis may be linked to certain systemic conditions, but no causal relationships have been established.
    12. Oral bacteria can be aspirated into the lungs, causing infections in immunocompromised individuals.
    13. Poor oral hygiene can increase levels of oral pathogens and proteolytic enzymes, which can alter the oral mucosal surface and damage the salivary pellicle.
    14. There is currently insufficient evidence for an association between periodontal disease and COPD, rheumatoid arthritis, and cognitive impairment.
    15. There is evidence of an association between periodontitis and chronic kidney disease, obesity, and oral/oropharyngeal cancer.
    16. Studies of the role of periodontitis in chronic kidney disease are challenging due to the complex pathogenesis of the latter.
    17. Overweight/obese individuals are more likely to suffer from periodontitis compared to normal weight individuals.
    18. There is little evidence to support an association between metabolic syndrome and periodontitis.
    19. The strong increased risk of diabetes for individuals with metabolic syndrome further confuses any association with periodontitis.
    20. Patients with periodontitis are increasingly aware of research into possible links with systemic diseases.
