Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate and compare potential associations between different COVID-19 vaccines and periodontal diseases, mainly gingival bleeding and oral malodor (bad breath). MATERIALS AND METHODS This cross-sectional study used an online questionnaire consisting of 15 questions regarding demographic information, medical history, type of COVID-19 vaccine received, history of COVID-19, and general and periodontal symptoms after vaccination. The survey was voluntary and privately accessed online using SurveyMonkey®. A total of 2000 participants from three regions of Saudi Arabia participated in the study from October 11, 2021, to October 11, 2022. RESULTS Of the participants, 95.8% received at least one dose of the available COVID-19 vaccine. Oxford-AstraZeneca was the most administered (41.7%). Patients who suffered from chronic diseases or had a history of COVID-19 infection were less likely to be vaccinated (OR= 0.62, 95% CI 0.40-0.97; OR=0.62, 95% CI 0.39-0.99) compared with people with no chronic diseases or who had a history of COVID-19. The odds ratios for gingival bleeding, oral malodor, mobility, and tooth loss indicated no significant differences regarding vaccination status. CONCLUSION COVID-19 vaccines might not affect periodontal tissue conditions. People should not avoid vaccination due to concerns with oral or general health, as the benefits of vaccination outweigh the potential side effects.

Abstract
Periodontitis is a common chronic inflammatory and destructive disease in the mouth and is considered to be associated with systemic diseases. Accumulating evidence has suggested that periodontitis is a risk factor for pulmonary diseases such as pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‑19) and lung cancer. The presence of common periodontal pathogens has been detected in samples from a variety of pulmonary diseases. Periodontal pathogens can be involved in lung diseases by promoting the adhesion and invasion of respiratory pathogens, regulating the apoptosis of respiratory epithelium and inducing overexpression of mucin and disrupting the balance of immune systemin respiratory epithelium cells. Additionally, measures to control plaque and maintain the health of periodontal tissue can decrease the incidence of respiratory adverse events. This evidence suggests a close association between periodontitis and pulmonary diseases. The present study aimed to review the clinical association between periodontitis and pneumonia, COPD, asthma, COVID‑19 and lung cancer, and propose a possible mechanism and potential role of periodontal pathogens in linking periodontal disease and lung disease. This could provide a direction for further research on the association between periodontitis and lung disease and provide novel ideas for the clinical diagnosis and treatment management of these two diseases.

Relationship between the Social Development Index and Self-Reported Periodontal Conditions. Healthcare (Basel) 2023; 11:healthcare11111548. [PMID: 37297688 DOI: 10.3390/healthcare11111548] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2023] [Revised: 05/12/2023] [Accepted: 05/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/12/2023] Open
Abstract
Inequalities in oral health are influenced by the social strata of the population. Few studies have focused on the multitude of factors related to social development as indicators of living conditions and periodontal health status. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between self-reported periodontal conditions and the Social Development Index (SDI). A cross-sectional validated questionnaire was carried out among 1294 Mexican adults. Descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regression models were used to identify the best predictors of self-reported periodontal conditions. Bone loss reporting was used as a proxy for the presence of periodontal disease. We found that higher global scores on the SDI and quality and available space in the home (QASH) increase the probability of having bone loss. Global SDI (OR = 7.27) and higher QASH (OR = 3.66) were indeed the leading societal factors related to periodontal disease. These results have pointed out how SDI and its indicators, in particular QASH, can be used to further explore inequities related to privileged access to dental care in the context of periodontal diseases.
