[PMID: 38727727 PMCID: PMC11087323 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-024-05687-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2023] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Recent evidence suggested a link between periodontitis (PD) and dental caries, but the trends and nature of this association remained unclear. The overall aim of this study was to critically assess the correlation of two disorders. METHODS A comprehensive search was conducted within the PUBMED and EMBASE databases including grey literatures up to July 5th, 2023. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale was used to qualitatively evaluate the risk of bias. RESULTS Overall, 18 studies were included. In terms of caries risk in PD patients, the prevalence of caries was increased by PD (OR = 1.57, 95%CI:1.20-2.07), both in crown (OR = 1.03, 95%CI:1.01-1.05) and root caries (OR = 2.10, 95%CI:1.03-4.29). Odds of caries were also raised by PD severity (OR moderate = 1.38, 95%CI:1.15-1.66; OR severe = 2.14, 95%CI:1.74-2.64). Besides, patients with PD exhibited a higher mean number of decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT) and decayed and filled root teeth (DFR) [weighted mean difference (WMD)DMFT = 0.87, 95%CI: -0.03-1.76; WMDDFR = 1.13, 95%CI: 0.48-1.78]. Likewise, patients with caries had an elevated risk of PD (OR = 1.79, 95%CI:1.36-2.35). However, Streptococcus mutans, one of the main pathogens of caries, was negatively correlated with several main pathogens of periodontitis. CONCLUSIONS This study indicated a positive correlation between dental caries and periodontitis clinically, while the two disease-associated pathogens were antagonistic. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Further research, including clinical cohort studies and mechanisms of pathogens interaction is needed on this link for better prevention and treatment of PD and caries. In addition, innovative prevention strategies need to be developed and incorporated in dental practices to prevent these two highly prevalent oral diseases.

Trend in basic oral treatment needs in relation to taxation of sweets, ice cream, and sugar-sweetened beverages in Finland: a registry-based study. Acta Odontol Scand 2024; 83:160-165. [PMID: 38628100 PMCID: PMC11302471 DOI: 10.2340/aos.v83.40335] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2023] [Accepted: 02/14/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aims were to explore the trend in basic oral treatment needs and total operating cost of public dental services (PDS) in relation to total excise tax revenue generated from sugary products during 2011-2020 and to evaluate the impact of tax policy in excise tax revenue of sugary products and average sugar consumption. METHODS The study comprised longitudinal data retrieved from Finnish registries during the years 2011-2020. Basic oral treatment needs, and total operating cost of PDS, total excise tax revenue generated from sugary products and average sugar consumed (kg per capita) during the years 2011-2020 were obtained. Simplified panel analyses and sensitivity analyses were used to evaluate the effects of explanatory variables on outcomes. Results: An approximate one EUR 1,000,000 increase in total excise tax revenue generated from sugary products corresponds to a 0.4% increase in total operating cost of PDS. There was a significant positive trend in total operating cost of PDS in Finland over the study period. Similarly, an approximate one EUR 1,000,000 rise in total excise tax revenue corresponds to a 0.2% increase in basic oral treatment needs. Additionally, there was a statistically significant difference in the average excise tax revenue for sugary products between the periods before and after 2017. CONCLUSION No change in average sugar consumption was observed despite implementing the new sugar policy. Therefore, it may be worthwhile to reconsider the excise tax on sweets and ice cream as it will significantly increase the total national revenues.

[PMID: 38084804 DOI: 10.1111/jcpe.13910] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2023] [Revised: 11/09/2023] [Accepted: 11/15/2023] [Indexed: 01/19/2024]
Abstract
AIM The epidemiological relationship between periodontitis and caries remains controversial, and evidence synthesis is currently lacking. Therefore, this systematic review was designed to answer the following PECO question: 'In human adults (P), do subjects suffering from periodontitis (E) have higher presence/number of untreated carious lesions and caries experience (O) than subjects not suffering from periodontitis (C)?'. MATERIALS AND METHODS Observational studies that met specific inclusion criteria established to answer to the PECO question were included. Two review authors independently searched for eligible studies, screened the titles and abstracts, carried out the full text analysis, extracted the data and performed the risk of bias assessment. In case of disagreement, a third review author took the final decision during ad hoc consensus meetings. Data synthesis was carried out through random-effects meta-analyses. RESULTS A total of 18 studies on 21 cohorts, involving 135,018 participants, were included. Meta-analyses showed a significant association between periodontitis and the presence of at least one tooth with either untreated carious lesions (odds ratio [OR] = 1.63; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.32-2.01; p <.00; I2 = 83.0%) or caries experience (decayed and filled teeth ≥ 1) (OR = 1.27; 95% CI: 1.01-1.59; p = .038; I2 = 90.0%). Moreover, subjects with periodontitis exhibited a higher number of surfaces (difference in means [MD] = 0.86; 95% CI: 0.46-1.27; p <.001; I2 = 0.0%) and teeth (MD = 0.35; 95% CI: 0.28-0.42; p <.001; I2 = 69.6%) with untreated carious lesions, as well as a higher number of teeth with caries experience (standardized difference in means [SMD] = 1.46; 95% CI: 0.15-2.78; p = .029; I2 = 98.9%) compared with those without periodontitis. Sensitivity analyses focusing on severe periodontitis as exposure mostly showed consistent results. Estimates for caries experience were only slightly attenuated in adjusted models compared with crude models. Subgroup analyses by caries location also indicated that periodontitis was associated only with root caries, while it was not with caries affecting the anatomical crown. CONCLUSIONS Periodontitis was found to be associated with the presence and number of treated/untreated root carious lesions. Therefore, caries-specific preventive measures (e.g., fluorides) should be considered for individuals with periodontitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies reported varyingly positive, negative, or no relationships between caries and periodontitis. Therefore, the aim was to assess the potential co-occurrence of caries experience and periodontal inflammation on the same teeth. METHODS This cross-sectional study used data from the Lithuanian National Oral Health Survey. The study included a stratified random sample of 1405 individuals aged 34-78, recruited from 5 Lithuanian cities and 10 peri-urban/rural areas (response rate 52%). Information about sociodemographic (age, sex, education, residence), behavioral (sugar-containing diet, tooth brushing frequency, use of interdental care products, last dental visit, smoking) and biological (systemic disease, use of medication and xerostomia) determinants was collected using the World Health Organization (WHO) Oral Health Questionnaire for Adults supplemented with additional questions. Clinical data were recorded using the WHO criteria and collected by one trained and calibrated examiner. Dental caries status was recorded as sound, decayed, missing, filled surfaces. Subsequently for the analyses, status was recorded at a tooth-level as decayed- and filled-teeth (DT and FT) including proximal, buccal, and oral surfaces. Two measures were used for periodontal status. The probing pocket depth (PPD) was measured at six sites and recorded at a tooth level into the absence of PPD or presence of PPD ≥ 4 mm. Bleeding on probing (BOP) was measured at the same six sites and was recorded as either present or absent at a tooth-level. Univariable and multivariable 2-level random intercept binary logistic regression analyses were utilized. RESULTS Positive associations were found between DT and BOP (OR 1.42, 95% CI 1.20-1.67), FT and BOP (OR 2.07, 95% CI 1.82-2.23), DT and PPD (OR 1.38, 95% CI 1.15-1.67) and FT and PPD (OR 2.01, 95% CI 1.83-2.20). CONCLUSIONS Our findings add evidence for the co-occurrence of periodontal inflammation and caries on the same teeth. This suggests the need for increased emphasis on a transdisciplinary approach in designing oral health interventions that target dental caries and periodontal disease simultaneously. In addition, longitudinal studies exploring the co-occurrence of caries and periodontal disease at the same sites, taking into consideration the levels of both conditions and genetic variation, are warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS The pathogenic microorganisms and clinical manifestations of caries and periodontitis are different, caries and periodontitis are usually discussed separately, and the relationship between them is ignored. Clinically, patients prone to dental caries generally have a healthier periodontal status, whereas patients with periodontitis generally have a lower incidence of dental caries. The relationship between dental caries and periodontitis remains unclear. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to explain the clinical phenomenon of antagonism between dental caries and periodontitis by exploring the ecological chain and bacterial interactions in dental caries, periodontitis, and other comorbid diseases. METHODS The dental plaque microbiomes of 30 patients with oral diseases (10 each with caries, periodontitis, and comorbid diseases) were sequenced and analysed using 16 S rRNA gene sequencing. The Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database was used for a differential functional analysis of dental plaque microbial communities in caries, periodontitis, and comorbid diseases. RESULTS The coinfection group had the greatest bacterial richness in dental plaque. The principal coordinate analysis showed that caries and periodontitis were separate from each other, and comorbid diseases were located at the overlap of caries and periodontitis, with most of them being periodontitis. Simultaneously, we compared the microbiomes with significant differences among the three groups and the correlations between the microbiome samples. In addition, KEGG pathway analysis revealed significant differences in functional changes among the three groups. CONCLUSIONS This study revealed the composition of the dental plaque microbial communities in caries, periodontitis, and comorbidities and the differences among the three. Additionally, we identified a possible antagonism between periodontitis and caries. We identified a new treatment strategy for the prediction and diagnosis of caries and periodontitis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Limited studies are available testing through multiple regression models the association between the two main oral diseases: dental caries and periodontitis. The aim of this cross-sectional population-based study was to verify whether dental caries and periodontitis co-occur in a representative sample of the South Korea population. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 23,405 subjects representative of 36.2 million of adults (KNHANES) were examined. Univariate and multiple regression analyses using 7 different models were applied, controlling for age, gender, smoking status, frequency of toothbrushing, use of interproximal toothbrushes and flossing, educational level, income, gum diseases treatment and tooth filling in the previous year, BMI, Vitamin D serum levels, alcoholism, diabetes status, stress and carbohydrates dietary intake. RESULTS In the fully adjusted model, participants with periodontitis had, respectively, a mean of 0.82 (95% CI: 0.41-1.23) and of 0.36 (95% CI: 0.22-0.50) more untreated decayed surfaces and teeth than participants without periodontitis, with an OR to have at least one untreated decayed surface of 1.96 (95% CI: 1.66-2.32). However, cumulative caries experience (DF scores) and periodontitis were not associated. CONCLUSIONS In this large nationally representative population, periodontitis and untreated dental caries co-occur. However, when considering cumulative caries experience (DF scores), the two diseases do not appear related. CLINICAL RELEVANCE In light of their possible co-occurrence, clinicians should implement integrative diagnostic, preventive and treatment strategies for both diseases.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the confluence of caries and periodontitis indicators from adolescence to elderhood among Americans. MATERIALS AND METHODS This cross-sectional study explored the grouping among a set of caries and periodontitis indicators (the proportion of sites with bleeding on probing, moderate probing pocket depth [PPD, 4-5 mm], severe PPD [≥6 mm], moderate clinical attachment level [CAL, 3-4 mm], severe CAL [≥5 mm], number of teeth with furcation involvement, number of decayed teeth, number of teeth with pulp involvement, and the number of missing teeth) in 14,421 Americans from the NHANES III study. Exploratory factorial analysis was used to determine the constructs between those indicators (factorial loading ≥0.3). These analyses were stratified by age and confirmed with a confirmatory factorial analysis. We also performed a sensitivity analysis using the NHANES 2011-2014. RESULTS Two constructs were extracted. The first, Chronic Oral Diseases Burden, grouped caries indicators with moderate PPD and moderate CAL for the youngest subjects (13-39 years old), while for the subjects over 50 years, the Chronic Oral Disease Burden grouped caries indicators with severe CAL and PPD and furcation involvement. The second construct, Periodontal Destruction, grouped only periodontitis indicators. CONCLUSIONS Caries and periodontitis indicators grouped consistently across the different age ranges in lapse times of 25 years.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this follow-up study was to investigate whether adults attend an oral health examination (OHE) based on their individual recall interval (IRI) without a reminder recall system. METHODS The study population included adults who were attending an OHE recommended by their dentists based on their IRI in public oral healthcare clinics of Helsinki City January 1, 2009-December 31, 2009. The inclusion criteria were as follows: alive until the end of IRI, length of the IRI of 12-60 months, and study participants had not been treated successfully by a dental specialist during the IRI period (n = 41,255). We used a multinomial model to identify the factors associated with the timing of OHE. The following predictors were included: oral health indices such as Decayed Teeth and the Community Periodontal Index, the length of the IRI based on an OHE in 2009, age, gender, socioeconomic status, presence of chronic diseases, and emergency appointment. Results were presented as odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS The OHE based on IRI occurred for 7505 individuals (18.2%) and the OHE was late for 9159 individuals (22.2%). A total of 24,591 (59.6%) adults did not undergo follow-up OHE based on the IRI period of on time or late. Those who came on time for follow-up OHE experienced less caries than those who came later. There was not much difference in periodontal health between the groups. The models indicated that having an emergency appointment was associated with a higher probability of having an OHE. A long IRI (37-60 months) was associated with a higher probability of not participating in OHE even late. CONCLUSIONS It would be beneficial for patients to take appointments based on the recall interval. The results of this study indicated that more needs to be done to increase awareness in the adult population of the benefits and availability of follow-up OHEs based on their IRI in oral healthcare.

Abstract
Background: The relationship between chronic inflammatory diseases and their comorbidities and correlation with periodontal diseases has become an increasing focus of research. Objectives: The aim of this case-control study was to conclude if patients suffering from COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) tend to have more AP (Apical Periodontitis) than non-COPD patients. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 30 patients assigned as cases, associated with 30 control patients linked by age (+/−5 years) and sex. Results: A total of 60 patients were recorded, and a total of 12 radiographic variables were analyzed. A total of 43 (71.7%) patients were registered with PAI (Periapical Index) ≥ 3, and there was a slightly tendency in the patients from the control group 22 (73.3%) compared to those from the cases 21 (70%), respectively (p > 0.05). Conclusions: It was concluded that there was not a significant association between the levels of PAI (Periapical Index) ≥ 3 per patient in those suffering from COPD. In fact, it could be concluded that patients diagnosed with COPD tend to have more teeth with PAI ≥ 3, more endodontic treatments and their periodontitis tended to accumulate more caries. Clinical Significance: This study establishes, in a case-control study, some specific aspects of oral health in patients with COPD, as well as analyzing the importance of oral health in this disease.

Despite significant healthcare advances in the 21st century, the exact etiology of dental caries remains unsolved. The past two decades have witnessed a tremendous growth in our understanding of dental caries amid the advent of revolutionary omics technologies. Accordingly, a consensus has been reached that dental caries is a community-scale metabolic disorder, and its etiology is beyond a single causative organism. This conclusion was based on a variety of microbiome studies following the flow of information along the central dogma of biology from genomic data to the end products of metabolism. These studies were facilitated by the unprecedented growth of the next- generation sequencing tools and omics techniques, such as metagenomics and metatranscriptomics, to estimate the community composition of oral microbiome and its functional potential. Furthermore, the rapidly evolving proteomics and metabolomics platforms, including nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and/or mass spectrometry coupled with chromatography, have enabled precise quantification of the translational outcomes. Although the majority supports 'conserved functional changes' as indicators of dysbiosis, it remains unclear how caries dynamics impact the microbiota functions and vice versa, over the course of disease onset and progression. What compounds the situation is the host-microbiota crosstalk. Genome-wide association studies have been undertaken to elucidate the interaction of host genetic variation with the microbiome. However, these studies are challenged by the complex interaction of host genetics and environmental factors. All these complementary approaches need to be orchestrated to capture the key players in this multifactorial disease. Herein, we critically review the milestones in caries research focusing on the state-of-art singular and integrative omics studies, supplemented with a bibliographic network analysis to address the oral microbiome, the host factors, and their interactions. Additionally, we highlight gaps in the dental literature and shed light on critical future research questions and study designs that could unravel the complexities of dental caries, the most globally widespread disease.

Radiographic Bone Loss and Its Relation to Patient-Specific Risk Factors, LDL Cholesterol, and Vitamin D: A Cross-Sectional Study. Nutrients 2022; 14:864. [PMID: 35215516 PMCID: PMC8877125 DOI: 10.3390/nu14040864] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2022] [Revised: 02/01/2022] [Accepted: 02/16/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
The influence of patient-specific factors such as medical conditions, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) or levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) on periodontal diseases is frequently discussed in the literature. Therefore, the aim of this retrospective cross-sectional study was to evaluate potential associations between radiographic bone loss (RBL) and patient-specific risk factors, particularly LDL-C and 25OHD levels. Patients from a dental practice, who received full-mouth cone beam CTs (CBCTs) and blood-sampling in the course of implant treatment planning, were included in this study. RBL was determined at six sites per tooth from CBCT data. LDL-C and 25OHD levels were measured from venous blood samples. Other patient-specific risk factors were assessed based on anamnesis and dental charts. Statistical analysis was performed applying non-parametric procedures (Mann-Whitney U tests, error rates method). Data from 163 patients could be included in the analysis. RBL was significantly higher in male patients, older age groups, smokers, patients with high DMFT (decayed/missing/filled teeth) score, lower number of teeth, and high LDL-C levels (≥160 mg/dL). Furthermore, patients with high 25OHD levels (≥40 ng/mL) exhibited significantly less RBL. In summary, RBL was found to be associated with known patient-specific markers, particularly with age and high LDL-C levels.

Abstract
Background/purpose To investigate the associations between treated and untreated dental caries and periodontitis in young adults. Materials and methods The study enrolled 1289 participants aged 18–45 years in Taiwan. Localized periodontitis was categorized into healthy and stage II/III (n = 936 and n = 353, respectively) based on the 2017 criteria of the World Workshop. Multivariable logistic regression analysis with adjustments for sex, age, tobacco smoking status, betel nut consumption status, metabolic syndrome, and total white blood cell count was used to determine the associations. Results Decayed tooth numbers were positively associated with localized stage II/III periodontitis [odds ratio (OR): 1.15 (95% confidence intervals (CI): 1.06–2.25)], while filled tooth numbers were inversely associated with localized stage II/III periodontitis in young adults [OR: 0.96 (95% CI: 0.92–0.99)]. Conclusion Our study confirms the relationship between dental caries and periodontitis by direct evidence that the more decayed teeth there are, the higher the risk of periodontitis and by indirect evidence that the more treated decayed teeth there are, the lower the risk of periodontitis in young adults.

Prevalence of Dental Caries and Periodontal Disease of High School Students Aged 15 to 18 Years in Taiwan. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph18199967. [PMID: 34639272 PMCID: PMC8508362 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph18199967] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2021] [Revised: 09/17/2021] [Accepted: 09/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence and distribution of dental caries and periodontal disease in Taiwanese high school students aged 15–18. A total of 1069 Taiwanese students participated in a cross-sectional nationwide dental survey. By using a stratified method based on the National Health Insurance administration regions, 24 high schools were randomly sampled in different areas of Taiwan. The participants were examined with dental mirrors and community periodontal index (CPI) probes without using radiographs, to measure dental caries and periodontal status. Demographic information and other relevant risk indicators for the two diseases were gathered via a self-report questionnaire. In this study population, the weighted mean decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT) scores for ages 15 to 18 were 5.2, 6.1, 6.1, and 5.7. The weighted mean decayed, missing and filled surfaces (DMFS) scores were 9.0, 12.0, 13.1, and 11.2 at ages 15, 16, 17, and 18, respectively. Additionally, 88.2% of the subjects had periodontal disease, with calculus as the most prevalent type. Moreover, 5.2% of these students showed loss of attachment. There was no significant association between dental caries and periodontal disease. Dental caries and periodontal disease were prevalent among Taiwanese high school students in this national dental survey.

Abstract
Background/purpose Previous studies have suggested that there is a mutual antagonism between caries and periodontitis. This research aimed to investigate the ecological connection and bacterial interaction of these two diseases. Materials and methods We profiled and analyzed the salivary microbiota from 124 individuals (including 38 caries patients, 34 periodontitis patients, 15 comorbid diseases patients, and 37 healthy controls) by using 16 S rRNA gene sequencing and bioinformatics approaches, and also quantified their salivary bacteria loads via quantitative real-time PCR. The putative biological functions of the salivary microbiome of the different groups were predicted by PICRUSt. Results We observed that both the total bacteria loads and the overall microbial richness in the saliva of the periodontitis group were higher than that in the healthy group. The principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) showed that the caries, periodontitis and healthy groups were separated from each other, and that the samples from comorbid diseases were located at the overlap of caries and periodontitis groups. Using LEfSe analysis, 20 differentially abundant genera were identified as potential biomarkers. These genera also performed complicated interactions among the four groups. Additionally, the PICRUSt analysis indicated caries-related and periodontitis-related functions (e.g., carbohydrate metabolism and bacteria proliferation) respectively. Conclusion We disclosed the significant differences in the salivary bacterial community under caries, periodontitis and comorbid diseases. The periodontitis group was marked by the increased complexity of the salivary microbiota. The result may have vital clinical significance to the screening and early treatment of caries-active and periodontitis-active individuals.

Abstract
In 1996, the German Dental Association (BZÄK) defined oral health goals for the dental profession in Germany for the first time. The third revision of the goals for the year 2030 is now based on new oral epidemiological studies. The formerly tooth-oriented focus of the objectives has been expanded to include both disease-related as well as oral health-promoting and preventive objective areas in the sense of an integrative perspective of primary, secondary and tertiary prevention. This paper presents a sample of the updated oral health goals specifically related to the reduction of caries in children and periodontal disease in adults, but also to the improvement of oral health behaviour of the population and the implementation of group prophylactic measures. The current situation is assessed and recommendations for action are made.By 2030, the primary dentition of 3‑year-olds should be at least 90% caries-free. A dmft-value (caries index of the primary dentition) of maximum 0.4 is being targeted. The permanent teeth of 12-year-olds should also be at least 90% caries-free, and the DMFT (caries index of the permanent teeth) should be kept at 0.5. Severe periodontal diseases are to be reduced to 10% in 35-44-year-olds and to 20% in 65-74-year-olds; the 2020 goals in this regard are thus adressed once again. The oral health behaviour of the population should be further improved and group prophylactic measures strengthened.The basis for achieving the 2030 oral health goals is the commitment of the relevant actors in the health system and health policy as well as an appropriate use of resources.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to estimate the direct and indirect economic burdens of periodontal disease in the US and in Europe. METHODS We used the most recent data available for the US and for Europe (32 European countries) to estimate the cost of periodontal disease. Global health, dental and periodontal expenditures were estimated. We tried to estimate the direct and the indirect costs of periodontitis. Indirect costs, those related to productivity losses, are a consequence of periodontal disease proper, plus edentulism and caries because of periodontal disease. RESULTS In 2018, the aggregate cost in the US was estimated at $3.49B and €2.52B in Europe. Indirect costs because of periodontal disease amounted to $150.57B (95% confidence interval [CI]: 103.32-189.87) in the US countries and €156.12B (95% CI: 123.72-221.86) in Europe. The majority of the projected indirect costs were because of edentulism related to periodontal disease and periodontal disease. Indirect costs were the majority of the estimated economic impact with an average of 0.73% (95% CI: 0.50%-0.93%) of annual gross domestic product in the US and 0.99% (95% CI: 0.78%-1.40%) in Europe. CONCLUSIONS Periodontal disease caused an estimated loss of $154.06B in the US and €158.64B in Europe, in 2018. These results show that the economic burden of periodontal disease is significant and its indirect costs are impactful.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between dental caries and periodontal disease is still controversial. The objective of this study was to explore the relationship between different types of caries and periodontal disease severity in middle-aged and elderly people in China. METHODS The study population consisted of 4407 middle-aged and 4117 elderly subjects. Caries were divided into the following three types: type A, crown caries; type B, lesions involving both the crown and root, representing mixed-type caries; and type C, root caries. These three types together represent the overall caries situation, which we call type ABC. Caries were quantitated by decayed and filled teeth (DFT index). Periodontitis was evaluated by clinical attachment loss. RESULTS Middle-aged people with periodontitis had a significant association with DFT type B (OR: 1.21, 95% CI 1.17-1.25) and type C (OR: 1.40, 95% CI 1.24-1.56). Elderly people with periodontitis had a significant association with DFT type C (OR: 1.28, 95% CI 1.21-1.35). CONCLUSIONS In China, caries types B/C were positively correlated with periodontitis in the middle-aged group, and only caries type C was positively correlated with periodontitis in the elderly group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A study was made of the prevalence, co-occurrence and association among caries, nutritional habits, and peri-implant disease, with an analysis of the influence of other patient and implant factors upon peri-implant disease. METHODS The included subjects underwent a clinical examination and were asked to complete a questionnaire. Demographic data and potential lifestyle/behavioral variables were collected. Clinical and radiographic assessment allowed calculation of the decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT) index and peri-implant diagnosis. Uni- and multivariate multinomial logistic regression analyses were applied to identify predictors of peri-implant disease. RESULTS A total of 169 patients with 311 implants were studied. At patient level, 92.2% of the subjects presented at least one carious lesion, whereas 22.5% and 56.2% were diagnosed with peri-implantitis and mucositis, respectively. Those patients with more than two caries had a higher risk of mucositis (OR = 3.33). Statistically significant associations for peri-implantitis included full mouth periodontal indexes, sugar-rich diets, keratinized mucosa width, number of missing teeth and interproximal untreated caries or fillings adjacent to implants. CONCLUSION High caries risk profiles and mucositis/peri-implantitis tended to accumulate within subjects. A sugar-enriched diet and untreated caries or fillings adjacent to implant sites may be further considered as risk indicators of peri-implantitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the possible association between maternal periodontal disease and dental caries that affect oral health and unexplained infertility. METHODS This cross-sectional case-control study included 50 fertile women and 50 women with unexplained infertility aged 21 to 39 years. Dental and periodontal parameters were examined to evaluate the oral health of the participants. According to the new periodontal disease classification, periodontitis severity was determined. RESULTS In infertile women, the number of advanced caries lesions, the percentage of bleeding on probing (BOP), gingival index (GI), probing depth (PD), and clinical attachment level (CAL) were higher (P < 0.05). The DMFT and mean plaque index (PI) were not statistically different between the two groups. The PISA and PESA values were higher in women with unexplained infertility than in fertile women (P = 0.005 and P = 0.002, respectively). In multivariate analysis showed that association of DMFT and BOP variables with periodontitis was found to be significant for all women included in the study and for infertile women only (P = 0.000 and P = 0.012 for DMFT, respectively; P = 0.000 and P = 0.016 for BOP, respectively). CONCLUSION The chronic inflammatory environment caused by periodontitis and advanced carious lesions in women with unexplained infertility should be of great concern as it may have a role in the etiology of infertility.

[PMID: 33409694 DOI: 10.1007/s00784-020-03726-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2020] [Accepted: 12/01/2020] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To study whether there is an association between caries and periodontitis in a representative sample from employed Spanish adults. MATERIALS AND METHODS This cross-sectional study is part of a wide epidemiological survey (WORALTH, Workers' ORAL healTH). Oral examination was carried out in 5130 dentate subjects. Periodontal status was assessed by clinical attachment level (CAL) and Community Periodontal Index (CPI) in index teeth. For caries, all teeth were classified as healthy, decayed (D), filled (F), or missed (M), and DMFT index and prevalence of cavitated caries were calculated. ANOVA, Chi-square tests, and regression models were performed. RESULTS DMFT increased with CAL values, being 7.8, 9.6, and 10.5 for CAL 0-3 mm, 4-5 mm, and ≥ 6 mm, respectively. After adjustment for confounders, subjects with CPI ≥ 3 showed an odds ratio of 1.6 (95% confidence interval (CI) [1.3; 1.8]; p < 0.001) for presenting cavitated caries, and patients with CAL ≥ 6 mm had 0.8 higher mean DMFT (95% CI [0.2; 1.5]; p = 0.015), and 0.3 higher mean DFR (95% CI [0.2; 0.5]; p < 0.001) than those with CAL < 6 mm. CONCLUSIONS The presence of CAL ≥ 6 m mm was associated with an increased DMFT and DFR, and the presence of CPI ≥ 3 was associated with a higher prevalence of cavitated caries in this representative sample. CLINICAL RELEVANCE There is a tendency to present higher prevalence of dental caries among patients with periodontitis. Therefore, common preventive measures in dentistry, such as oral hygiene practices, should ideally include actions aimed to prevent at the same time dental caries and periodontitis.

Vitamin D and Calcium Milk Fortification in Pregnant Women with Periodontitis: A Feasibility Trial. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2020; 17:ijerph17218023. [PMID: 33143369 PMCID: PMC7662458 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph17218023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2020] [Revised: 10/28/2020] [Accepted: 10/29/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
This study aims to assess the acceptability, adherence, and retention of a feasibility trial on milk fortification with calcium and vitamin D (Ca+VitD) and periodontal therapy (PT) among low income Brazilian pregnant women with periodontitis (IMPROVE trial). This 2 × 2 factorial feasibility trial used a mixed-methods evaluation. In total, 69 pregnant women were randomly allocated to four groups: 1. fortified sachet with Ca+VitD and milk plus early PT (throughout gestation); 2. placebo and milk plus early PT; 3. fortified sachet with Ca+VitD and milk plus late PT after childbirth; 4. placebo and milk plus late PT. Data were collected via questionnaires, field notes, participant flow logs, treatment diary, and focal group discussions. Quantitative and qualitative data were analysed using appropriate descriptive statistics and content analysis, respectively. Eligibility rate (12%) was below the target of 15%, but participation (76.1%) and recruitment rate (2 women/week) exceeded the targets. Retention rate (78.6%) was slightly below the target (80%). Adherence to the PT was significantly higher in the early treatment groups (98.8%) compared to the late treatment groups (29%). All women accepted the random allocation, and baseline groups were balanced. There was no report of adverse events. This multi-component intervention is acceptable, well-tolerated, and feasible among low-risk pregnant women in Brazil.

Abstract
We aimed to discover the influence of age on the development of chronic periodontitis and illustrate the molecular mechanism in this process. Blood samples were collected from 63 chronic periodontitis patients and 30 healthy controls. Th17 cell/Foxp3+ regulatory T cell (Treg) ratio and expression of costimulatory molecules in dendritic cells (DCs) were analyzed by flow cytometry. The serum levels of soluble CD40 ligand (CD40L) and IL-17 were examined by ELISA. In young chronic periodontitis patients, the Th17/Treg ratio was significantly higher than that in old patients. CD40 on DCs and serum levels of CD40L and IL-17 were all higher in young chronic periodontitis patients. Mature DCs with high CD40 expression level elevated the Th17/Treg ratio in vitro. During the pathogenesis of chronic periodontitis, young patients had higher Th17/Treg ratio than old patients and this phenomenon was in line with the differential expression levels of CD40 in DCs.

Abstract
Background The aim of the study was to describe prevalence, severity and distribution of periodontal disease as well as associated risk factors in an indigenous Sámi population in Northern Norway, and to investigate differences between the indigenous Sámi and the non-Sámi population. Methods This cross-sectional study included data from the Dental Health in the North study (N = 2078; 18–75 years). Data on Ethnicity, household income, education, smoking habits, dental attendance, and tooth brushing habits were collected by a questionnaire. Periodontal conditions were assessed by clinical examination. A modified version of the new AAP/EFP classification system of periodontal disease was used to estimate the severity of periodontitis. Three stages were used: ‘Non-severe periodontitis’, ‘Stage II’, and stage ‘III/IV’. Results Of the total study population 66.5% reported Sámi affiliation. The total prevalence of periodontitis was 49.7%, with 20.1% in Stage III/IV, but no differences between Sámi and non-Sámi. When controlled for sex, age, education, smoking and dental attendance the Sámi had higher probability of having more severe stages of periodontitis; Odds RatioStage II (OR) = 1.3; 95% CI: 1.1–1.7; and ORStage III/IV (OR) = 1.6; 95% CI: 1.1–2.2) compared to non-Sámi. The Sámi had higher prevalence of periodontal pocket depth (PD) ≥ 4 mm (t = 1.77; p < 0.001) and PD ≥ 6 mm (t = 1.08; p = 0.038) than the non-Sámi. Conclusions The prevalence of periodontitis was high in communities in the core area of Sámi settlement in Northern Norway, regardless of ethnicity. People with Sámi ethnicity had more deep periodontal pockets and an increased odds of having severe stages of periodontitis. Future studies should address possible explaining factors behind the potential higher risk of having more severe periodontitis among indigenous people in Sámi settlements.

Abstract
Objective: The aim was to evaluate the association of behavioural and socioeconomic factors with the occurrence of periodontal disease and dental caries, paying special attention to the simultaneous occurrence of these diseases.Materials and methods: The study population consisted of 5255 dentate persons aged ≥30 years from a nationally representative survey. Caries and probing pocket depth were recorded by tooth and calculated in relation to the number of existing teeth. The groups were: non-affected (A), the two most affected quintiles for periodontal disease with little or no dental caries (B), the two most affected quintiles for dental caries with little or no periodontal disease (C) and the two most affected quintiles for both periodontal disease and dental caries (D). Presence of dental plaque was determined, and behavioural and socioeconomic factors were established.Results: Dental plaque, smoking, lack of regular dental check-ups, older age and a basic level of education were strongly associated with the simultaneous occurrence of periodontal disease and dental caries.Conclusions: There are many behavioural and socioeconomic factors that associate with the occurrence of both periodontal disease and dental caries. These factors also increase the risk of individuals having these diseases simultaneously.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The co-occurrence of caries and periodontitis and a possible association is still a matter of debate. Thus, the aim of the study was to determine the co-occurrence of caries and periodontitis in Chilean adults. METHODS Evaluation of periodontal and dental status in 994 adults (35-44 years old) based on the First Chilean National Examination Survey 2007-2008. The prevalence of caries was defined as the percentage of participants with one or more teeth with untreated caries by using the D component of the DMFT index (DT ≠ 0). The prevalence of periodontitis was determined using standard case definitions for population-based surveillance of periodontitis described by the CDC-AAP. RESULTS Individuals with caries had an approximately 40% higher prevalence of severe (29.3% vs 20.8%, p < 0.05) and a 13% higher prevalence of total periodontitis (89.3% vs 78.4%, p < 0.05) than those without caries. Ordinal logistic regression revealed a positive association between periodontitis and the number of teeth with caries (DT ≠ 0; 3 or 4 teeth with caries: OR 1.74; CI = 1.12-2.29 p < 0.05; 5 or more teeth with caries: OR 2.47; CI = 1.66-3.67 p < 0.01). CONCLUSION Dental caries is associated with the severity and prevalence of periodontitis in Chilean adults. Individuals with 3 or more teeth with untreated caries are more likely to suffer from periodontal disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This controlled split-mouth study aimed to estimate the effect of caries and related treatment on concentrations of interleukin (IL)-2, interferon (IFN)-γ, IL-12, IL-17A, IL-13, IL-10, IL-6, IL-5, IL-4, IL-22, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and IL1-β in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of caries affected teeth before (B), 7 (7D) and 30 (30D) days post-treatment and to compare them with concentrations from healthy teeth. DESIGN Study population included 81 systemically and periodontally healthy non-smokers exhibiting at least one shallow occlusal/ inter-proximal caries and one healthy tooth from the same morphologic group at the contralateral position. Following clinical exam, the GCF samples were collected baseline as well as 7D and 30D, while the biomarker measurement was performed using multiplex flowcytometry. RESULTS Caries affected teeth exhibited significantly higher levels of IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4 and IL-6 when compared to healthy teeth. Post-treatment cytokines levels showed general trend of increase when compared to baseline, that was significant for IL-22 and IL-17 at 7D, while IFN-γ was significantly increased at 7D compared to the healthy teeth. At 30D, IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-17 and IL-4 levels were significantly increased when compared to healthy teeth, while IL-2 levels were significantly higher than baseline levels. CONCLUSION Considering significantly increased periodontal levels of inflammatory markers in caries affected teeth and in response to performed treatment, it seems that dental caries and related restorative treatment might contribute to periodontal inflammation via additive effects already in early-stage caries.

Abstract
Tooth loss from periodontal disease is a major public health burden in the United States. Standard clinical practice is to recommend a dental visit every six months; however, this practice is not evidence-based, and poor dental outcomes and increasing dental insurance premiums indicate room for improvement. We consider a tailored approach that recommends recall time based on patient characteristics and medical history to minimize disease progression without increasing resource expenditures. We formalize this method as a dynamic treatment regime which comprises a sequence of decisions, one per stage of intervention, that follow a decision rule which maps current patient information to a recommendation for their next visit time. The dynamics of periodontal health, visit frequency, and patient compliance are complex, yet the estimated optimal regime must be interpretable to domain experts if it is to be integrated into clinical practice. We combine non-parametric Bayesian dynamics modeling with policy-search algorithms to estimate the optimal dynamic treatment regime within an interpretable class of regimes. Both simulation experiments and application to a rich database of electronic dental records from the HealthPartners HMO shows that our proposed method leads to better dental health without increasing the average recommended recall time relative to competing methods.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of dental prosthetic treatment and to investigate the demographic, social, economic and medical factors associated with the use of fixed and removable dentures in a representative sample of adults living in France. METHODS The data were obtained from the 2002-2003 Decennial Health Survey, a cross-sectional study of a representative sample of the population living in France, which included 29,679 adults. Information was collected by interview. The variables collected were fixed denture, removable denture, age, gender, number of children, area of residence, nationality, educational attainment, family social status, employment status, annual household income per capita, supplementary insurance, chronic disease, eyesight problems/glasses, hearing problems/hearing aids. Multinomial logistic regression models were used to study the relationship between prosthetic treatment and demographic, socioeconomic and medical characteristics unadjusted, adjusted for age and adjusted for all the characteristics. RESULTS The prevalence of prosthetic treatment was 34.6% (95% confidence interval (CI): [34.1; 35.2]) for fixed prosthetic dentures and 13.8% (95% CI: [13.4; 14.2]) for removable prosthetic dentures. We showed a gradient between educational attainment and removable dentures; the odds ratio adjusted for all the variables (aOR) associated with no or primary education compared to post-secondary education was 2.56; 95% CI: [2.09; 3.13]. When annual household income per capita was low, subjects were less likely to report fixed dentures (aOR=0.68; 95% CI: [0.62; 0.75]) than those with high annual household income per capita. Individuals without insurance less often reported fixed dentures than those with private insurance. Those reporting chronic disease were less likely to report fixed dentures (aOR=0.87; 95% CI: [0.79; 0.95]) but more likely to report removable dentures (aOR=1.29; 95% CI: [1.17; 1.43]) than those without chronic disease. CONCLUSION This study reveals social, economic and medical inequalities in fixed and removable prosthetic treatment among adults in France.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a need for risk prediction tools in caries research. This investigation aimed to estimate and evaluate a risk score for prediction of dental caries. MATERIALS AND METHODS This case-cohort study included a random sample of 177 cases (with dental caries) and 220 controls (randomly sampled from the study population at baseline), followed for 3 years. The risk ratio (RR) for each potential predictor was estimated using a logistic regression model. The level of significance was 5%. RESULTS The risk model for dental caries included the predictors: "presence of bacterial plaque/calculus" (RR = 4.1), "restorations with more than 5 years" (RR = 2.3), ">8 teeth restored" (RR = 2.0), "history/active periodontitis" (RR = 1.7) and "presence of systemic condition" (RR = 1.4). The risk model discrimination (95% confidence interval) was 0.78 (0.73; 0.82) (p < 0.001, C-statistic). Patients were distributed into three risk groups based on the pre-analysis risk (54%): low risk ( CONCLUSIONS The present study estimated a simple risk score for prediction of dental caries retrieved from a risk algorithm with good discrimination.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To compare the therapeutic effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT) with Toluidine blue O hydrogel versus systemic antibiotic (SA) in treating periodontitis on rats. METHODS Thirty-two Wistar rats were divided into four groups and treated differently: Negative control (NC) group, normal rats; positive control (PC) group, rats with periodontitis; SA group, rats with periodontitis treated with systemic antibiotic; PDT group, rats with periodontitis treated with PDT. After treatment, gingival sulcus bacterial load was measured by counting the colony forming units per milliliter (CFU mL-1 ). The tooth and periodontal tissues were histologically processed to analyze histological and immunohistochemical profile. Gingival samples were obtained to quantify interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) levels. RESULTS Gingival sulcus bacteria load is significantly lower in PDT group compared with the SA group. The histological analysis showed that some extremely effective repair signs of periodontal tissue were presented in PDT group, such as no periodontal pocket, no bone resorption, few inflammatory cells, massive fibroblasts and collagen fibers. Several effective repair signs of periodontal tissue were also observed in SA group, such as shallow periodontal pocket, small amount of inflammatory cells, substantial fibroblasts and collagen fibers. There were lower cyclooxygenase-2, matrix metalloproteinase -8 (MMP-8) and RANK immunolabeling, higher osteoprotegerin immunolabeling in PDT group compared with SA group. The IL-1β and TNF-α levels in PDT group were lower than those in NC group, but higher than those in SA group. CONCLUSION PDT was effective to treat experimental periodontitis and was superior to systemic metronidazole as a treatment for periodontitis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To examine associations between periodontal disease severity and clinical and microbiological measures of caries in adults. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cross-sectional study of 94 healthy adults ((mean ± SD) 55.4 ± 13.0 years) was conducted. Data were collected by means of questionnaire and a clinical examination that included the Decayed, Missing, Filled teeth Surfaces (DMFS) index, probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), and gingival bleeding and plaque scores. Supra- and subgingival plaque samples were collected to assess the presence of Streptococcus mutans and six periodontal pathogens. Participants were subsequently categorized using Center for Disease Control and Prevention/American Academy of Periodontology (CDC-AAP) definitions and tertiles of percentage of sites with CAL ≥ 3mm. RESULTS Significant positive associations were found between the periodontal disease severity (CDC-AAP) and the DMFS (aOR = 1.03; 95% CI 1.01-1.05) and DS indices (aOR = 1.18; 95% CI 1.05-1.32) as well as between the tertiles of percentage of sites with CAL ≥ 3 mm and DMFS (aOR = 1.03; 95% CI 1.00-1.05) and DS indices (aOR = 1.12; 95% CI 1.00-1.25). A significant positive association was also found between oral levels of F. nucleatum and S. mutans (aOR = 6.03; 95% CI 1.55-23.45). CONCLUSIONS A small but positive association was found between clinical measures of caries and periodontal disease severity. Further research is warranted to examine the association between these two common oral diseases. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Periodontal diseases and caries are the two most common oral diseases. There was a positive association between clinical and microbiological markers of both diseases. Therefore, strategies in oral health education should involve both caries and periodontitis prevention.

Abstract
Introduction: The present in vitro study evaluated the recurrence rate of caries following cavity preparations with bur (conventional technique) and irradiation by Erbium:Yttrium- Aluminum-Garnet (Er:YAG) laser through micro hardness test. Methods: A total of 72 human extracted molars were randomly divided into 3 groups and class 5 cavities were prepared on them with 3 different methods: G1) conventional bur, G2) Er:YAG laser irradiation alone and G3) laser irradiation + laser treatment. The specimens were immersed in the artificial caries solution with pH of 2.0 and 5.0 (12 days) and then immersed in re-mineralizing solution with pH of 7.0 (25 days). The specimens were longitudinally sectioned and their Vickers micro hardness was determined. Data were statistically analyzed by means of three-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey multiple comparisons tests. Results: The micro hardness of the samples was affected by substrate type (enamel and dentin) and low values were achieved in dentin (P<0.001). Moreover, no significant difference was observed between preparation methods by bar and laser irradiation alone (P ≤0.499). Although laser irradiation + laser treatment decreased micro hardness of enamel compared to other methods. In dentin samples, different methods of preparation showed no significant effect on micro hardness (P ≤0.874). Conclusion: Due to the similar values of micro hardness following G1 and G2, it seems that Er:YAG laser alone is as much effective as the conventional bur to prevent recurrence caries. However, because of the high prices of laser instruments, bur preparations can be done commonly.

Interleukin-12-mediated expression of matrix metalloproteinases in human periodontal ligament fibroblasts involves in NF-κB activation. Biosci Rep 2017; 37:BSR20170973. [PMID: 29054963 PMCID: PMC5696454 DOI: 10.1042/bsr20170973] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2017] [Revised: 09/27/2017] [Accepted: 10/19/2017] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
Interleukin-12 (IL-12) is a proinflammatory cytokine, and its increased level correlates with the severity of periodontitis. However, its role in the pathogenesis of tooth periapical lesions is controversial and has not been completely clarified. The present study aimed to investigate whether IL-12 affects the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) in human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (hPDLFs). After treatment with IL-12 for different times, real-time PCR and Western blotting were used to determine the mRNA and protein levels of MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-9, MMP-13, TIMP-1, and TIMP-2, respectively. ELISA was applied to measure MMPs and TIMPs secretion production. The results indicated that IL-12 significantly increased the mRNA and protein expression levels of MMP-1, MMP-3, and MMP-13, but down-regulated MMP-2 and MMP-9 mRNA and protein expression in the hPDLFs. Furthermore, IL-12 (10 ng/ml) enhanced the secreted protein production of MMP-1, MMP-3, and MMP-13, and conversely lowered MMP-2 and MMP-9 secretion levels. However, IL-12 treatment did not exert a significant effect on the mRNA and protein levels of TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 and their secreted production. Additionally, IL-12 increased the phosphorylated levels of IκBα and nuclear factor-κB P65 (NF-κB P65), and promoted NF-κB P65 subunit nuclear translocation. Pretreatment with NF-κB inhibitor not only attenuated IL-12-induced IκBα and NF-κB P65 phosphorylation and inhibited NF-κB P65 subunit into nucleus, but also antagonized IL-12-mediated MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-3, MMP-9, and MMP-13 expression in the hPDLFs. These findings indicate that NF-κB-dependent activation is possibly indispensable for IL-12-mediated MMP expression in hPDLFs.

Study eligibility criteria and participants: Longitudinal and cross-sectional epidemiologic, non-interventional studies that permit determination of directionality of observed effects were included. STUDY APPRAISAL AND SYNTHESIS METHODS Four reviewers evaluated pair-wise each study. Review findings regarding study results and quality were summarized in tables by topic, using the PRISMA Statement for reporting and the Newcastle-Ottawa System for quality assessment, respectively. From 2246 citations identified and available abstracts screened, 114 full-text reports were assessed and 17 included in the review. RESULTS A small body of evidence supports significant, adverse effects of periodontal disease on glycaemic control, diabetes complications, and development of type 2 (and possibly gestational) diabetes. LIMITATIONS There were only a limited number of eligible studies, several of which included small sample sizes. Exposure and outcome parameters varied, and the generalizability of their results was limited. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS OF KEY FINDINGS Current evidence suggests that periodontal disease adversely affects diabetes outcomes, and that further longitudinal studies are warranted.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a chronic disease which affects at least 10% of the population. If untreated, periodontitis can lead to teeth loss. Unfortunately, current diagnostic tests are limited in their sensitivity and specificity. In this study, a novel multiplex hand-held colorimetric diagnostic biosensor, using two typical inflammatory salivary biomarkers, Human Neutrophil Elastase (HNE) and Cathepsin-G, was constructed as proof of concept to potentially detect periodontitis. The biosensing method was based on the measurement of proteolytic activity using specific proteases probes. These probes consist of specific proteases substrates covalently bound to a magnetic bead from one end and to the gold sensor surface by the other end. When intact, this renders the golden sensor black. Upon proteolysis, the cleaved magnetic beads will be attracted by an external magnet revealing the golden color of the sensor surface observable by the naked eye. The biosensor was capable of specific and quantitative detection of HNE and Cathepsin-G in solution and in spiked saliva samples with a lower detection limit of 1 pg/mL and 100 fg/mL for HNE and Cathepsin-G, respectively. Examination of periodontitis patients' sample and a healthy control showed the potential of the multiplex biosensor to detect the presence of HNE and Cathepsin-G activity in situ. This approach is anticipated to be a useful biochip array amenable to low-cost point-of-care devices.

Abstract
Background Although the interrelationship between poor oral health and chronic diseases is well established, few related studies are available in China. In this study, the prevalence of severe periodontitis and its association with chronic diseases among adults in China have been explored. Design During China's 2010 Chronic Disease and Risk Factor Surveillance (CCDRFS) survey among adults aged 18 and older, 3 out of 162 surveillance points and the entire sample from each point (600×3=1,800 subjects) were selected as pilot study sites in which oral examination was performed. Basic demographic information, chronic diseases status, and results of oral examination were collected from 2010 CCDRFS data. A standard oral examination was conducted by trained staff. Periodontitis was defined as moderate (4–5 mm pockets) or severe (≥6 mm pockets). Chronic disease status was determined by using standard methods and criteria. Multivariate logistic analysis was used to identify the independent association of various factors with severe periodontitis. Results Of 1,800 subjects, 1,728 subjects (96%) provided complete information. The prevalence of severe periodontitis was 1.9% (32/1,728) (95% CI=1.2–2.5). In multivariate model, participants with diabetes were 2.4 times (OR=2.4, 95% CI=1.1–5.6) more likely to have severe periodontitis. Being male was significantly associated with severe periodontitis (OR=3.5, 95% CI=1.6–7.7). Living in a rural area was related to an increased chance of having severe periodontitis (OR=2.1, 95% CI=1.0– 4.9). Attainment of at least 6 years of education was inversely associated with severe periodontitis (OR=0.3, 95% CI=0.1–0.8). Conclusions According to this pilot project, prevalence of severe periodontitis was low. Control measures should be particularly emphasized for high-risk groups such as less educated people (<6 years of education), people living in rural areas, men, and diabetes patients. Population-based studies, including oral examination by trained staff, are feasible and should be done in order to understand the burden of periodontitis and to provide an effective response to this key oral health issue.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence suggests that periodontitis is associated with prevalent and incident type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), raising the question of whether periodontitis treatment may improve glycemic control in patients with T2DM. Meta-analyses of mostly small clinical trials suggest that periodontitis treatment results in a modest reduction in glycosylated hemoglobin (Hb) A1c. PURPOSE The purpose of the Diabetes and Periodontal Therapy Trial (DPTT) was to determine if periodontal treatment reduces HbA1c in patients with T2DM and periodontitis. METHODS DPTT was a phase-III, single-masked, multi-center, randomized trial with a planned enrollment of 600 participants. Participants were randomly assigned to receive periodontal treatment immediately (Treatment Group) or after 6 months (Control Group). HbA1c values and clinical periodontal measures were determined at baseline and 3 and 6 months following randomization. Medication usage and dosing were assessed at each visit. Periodontal treatment consisted of scaling and root planing for a minimum of two 90-minute sessions, plus the use of an antibacterial mouth rinse for at least 32 days afterwards. The primary outcome was change in HbA1c from baseline to 6 months and the trial was powered to detect a between-group difference of 0.6%. Secondary outcomes included changes in periodontal clinical measures, fasting plasma glucose, the Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA2) and the need for rescue diabetes or periodontal therapy. CONCLUSION Dental and medical researchers collaborated to recruit, treat and monitor participants with two chronic diseases to determine if treatment of one condition affects the status of the other.

Abstract
Porphyromonas gingivalis is associated with the development of periodontitis. Here we describe the development of a highly specific protease-based diagnostic method for the detection of P. gingivalis in gingival crevicular fluid. Screening of a proteolytic peptide substrate library, including fluorogenic dipeptides that contain d-amino acids, led to the discovery of five P. gingivalis-specific substrates. Due to the presence of lysine and arginine residues in these substrates, it was hypothesized that the cleavage was mediated by the gingipains, a group of P. gingivalis-specific proteases. This hypothesis was confirmed by the observation that P. gingivalis gingipain knockout strains demonstrated clearly impaired substrate cleavage efficacy. Further, proteolytic activity on the substrates was increased by the addition of the gingipain stimulators dithiothreitol and l-cysteine and decreased by the inhibitors leupeptin and N-ethylmaleimide. Screening of saliva and gingival crevicular fluid of periodontitis patients and healthy controls showed the potential of the substrates to diagnose the presence of P. gingivalis proteases. By using paper points, a sensitivity of approximately 10(5) CFU/ml was achieved. P. gingivalis-reactive substrates fully composed of l-amino acids and Bz-l-Arg-NHPhNO(2) showed a relatively low specificity (44 to 85%). However, the five P. gingivalis-specific substrates that each contained a single d-amino acid showed high specificity (96 to 100%). This observation underlines the importance of the presence of d-amino acids in substrates used for the detection of bacterial proteases. We envisage that these substrates may improve the specificity of the current enzyme-based diagnosis of periodontitis associated with P. gingivalis.

Abstract
AIMS Infection may be a rheumatoid arthritis (RA) risk factor. We examined whether signs of periodontal infection were associated with RA development in the First National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and its epidemiological follow-up study. MATERIAL AND METHODS In 1971-1974, 9702 men and women aged 25-74 were enrolled and surveyed longitudinally (1982, 1986, 1987, 1992). Periodontal infection was defined by baseline tooth loss or clinical evidence of periodontal disease. Baseline (n = 138) and incident (n = 433) RA cases were defined via self-report physician diagnosis, joint pain/swelling, ICD-9 codes (714.0-714.9), death certificates and/or RA hospitalization. RESULTS Adjusted odds ratios (ORs) (95% CI) for prevalent RA in gingivitis and periodontitis (versus healthy) were 1.09 (0.57, 2.10) and 1.85 (0.95, 3.63); incident RA ORs were 1.32 (0.85, 2.06) and 1.00 (0.68, 1.48). The ORs for prevalent RA among participants missing 5-8, 9-14, 15-31 or 32 teeth (versus 0-4 teeth) were 1.74 (1.03, 2.95), 1.82 (0.81, 4.10), 1.45 (0.62, 3.41) and 1.30 (0.48, 3.53); ORs for incident RA were 1.12 (0.77, 1.64), 1.67 (1.12, 2.48), 1.40 (0.85, 2.33) and 1.22 (0.75, 2.00). Dose-responsiveness was enhanced among never smokers. The rate of death or loss-to-follow-up after 1982 was two- to fourfold higher among participants with periodontitis or missing ≥9 teeth (versus healthy participants). CONCLUSIONS Although participants with periodontal disease or ≥5 missing teeth experienced higher odds of prevalent/incident RA, most ORs were non-statistically significant and lacked dose-responsiveness. Differential RA ascertainment bias complicated the interpretation of these data.
