Periodontal treatment effects on systemic health in patients with metabolic syndrome

27.08.22

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of conditions—obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and insulin resistance—that significantly increase the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.Periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory disease of the gums, has been linked to systemic inflammation, insulin resistance, and worsening glycaemic control.

Improved periodontal health is linked to reduced diabetes risk

06.07.22

Chronic periodontitis is a prevalent inflammatory condition affecting the supporting structures of teeth, which can lead to tooth loss and has been associated with various systemic diseases, including diabetes. The relationship between oral health and systemic conditions has garnered increasing attention, particularly as periodontal disease may influence metabolic processes. Previous studies have suggested that individuals with periodontal disease may have a higher risk of developing diabetes due to shared risk factors such as inflammation and insulin resistance.

Periodontitis, a chronic inflammatory condition, is a leading cause of tooth loss in adults and is exacerbated by diabetes-related hyperglycemia.Diabetes promotes periodontal inflammation and disrupts alveolar bone homeostasis, contributing to tissue damage. Alveolar bone homeostasis involves the endocrine system, signaling interactions between bone and immune cells, and mechanically loaded forces. It relies on bone-resorbing osteoclasts, bone-producing osteoblasts, their precursors and immunoregulatory mediators.

Treating periodontitis can help improve blood sugar control in people with diabetes

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic condition where the body fails to produce or effectively use insulin, resulting in elevated blood glucose. Poor glycaemic control in DM patients can lead to severe complications like cardiovascular disease and kidney failure. The glycosylated haemoglobin assay (HbA1c) is a reliable measure of long-term blood sugar control and is linked to the risk of diabetic complications.

Periodontitis and diabetes risk in Hispanic/Latino adults

02.02.22

• Periodontitis (gum disease) is an inflammatory condition linked to systemic diseases like diabetes.
• Hispanic/Latino adults in the U.S. face a high prevalence of both periodontitis and diabetes, but the link between gum disease and the development of diabetes or prediabetes in this population remains unclear.
• This study aimed to investigate whether gum disease severity influences the risk of developing prediabetes or diabetes over six years in a large cohort of Hispanic/Latino adults.

The use of periodontal measures for diabetes screening

23.01.22

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a significant global health issue, often remaining undiagnosed during its asymptomatic phase. Timely detection can prevent complications. Given the bidirectional link between diabetes and periodontitis, dental professionals are uniquely positioned to identify undiagnosed hyperglycaemia using periodontal measures.

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease leading to the destruction of tooth-supporting tissues and eventual tooth loss if untreated. It is highly prevalent worldwide, affecting 10–60% of populations. Beyond oral health, periodontitis contributes to systemic diseases by allowing pathogens (bacteria) and inflammatory mediators to enter the circulatory system, increasing risks for conditions like diabetes mellitus (DM), cardiovascular diseases, and adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Patient and tooth-related factors in the loss of molars in maintenance

Tooth loss (TL), a significant outcome of periodontitis, affects patients physiologically and psychologically. Periodontal therapy and patient compliance during supportive periodontal care (SPC) are crucial in reducing TL risk.Studies highlight patient- and tooth-related factors influencing TL, including periodontal bone loss, tooth mobility, furcation involvement (FI), tooth type, and vitality, with FI identified as a major predictor of molar survival.

Periodontitis (gum disease) is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the tissues that support teeth. It has been associated with systemic conditions like cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
