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