Gingival inflammation, enamel defects, and tooth sensitivity in children with amelogenesis imperfecta: a case-control study.

Methodology: Gingival conditions and tooth sensitivity of young patients with amelogenesis imperfecta lack in depth studies. This case-control study aimed to compare (1) the gingival inflammation, the presence of enamel defects, and tooth sensitivity in young patients with and without amelogenesis imperfecta and (2) to investigate if any difference exists between subtypes of amelogenesis imperfecta. We compared forty-two participants with amelogenesis imperfecta with forty-two controls matched for age, gender, and the number of examined sites.

Alcoholic beverage consumption, smoking habits, and periodontitis: A cross-sectional investigation of the NutriNet-Santé study.

Background: Recent evidence suggests that dietary habits influence the development and severity of periodontitis. The present cross-sectional study evaluated the association between different types and quantity of alcoholic beverage consumption (alone and interacting with smoking) and the probability to suffer from severe periodontitis in the French e-cohort NutriNet-Santé.

Methods: The study population consisted of 35,390 adults (mean age: 49.

High serum ferritin levels are associated with a reduced periodontium in women with anorexia nervosa.

Purpose: Impaired oral health is a well-known complication in individuals with eating disorders, although this is difficult to identify by mental health professionals. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between routine blood parameters and two oral health outcomes (dental erosion, reduced periodontium) in women with eating disorders.

Methods: A face-to-face interview and a clinical oral examination were carried out in a cohort of 70 women from an addiction and psychiatry hospital unit.

Chewing capacity and ideal cardiovascular health in adulthood: A cross-sectional analysis of a population-based cohort study.

Background And Aims: To study the association between chewing capacity-a prerequisite for eating- and the level of cardiovascular health (CVH).

Methods: This is a cross-sectional analysis conducted on 5430 study participants from the Paris Prospective Study 3 that were subjected to an oral examination by trained dentists at study recruitment between 2008 and 2012. Chewing capacity was determined by the number of functional tooth units (FTUs), and ≥ 5FTUs defined adequate chewing capacity.

Dental and periodontal health in adults with eating disorders: A case-control study.

Objectives: This study evaluates dental and periodontal health in anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa patients.

Methods: Seventy females with eating disorders (36 anorexia nervosa) attending a public hospital Psychiatry and Addiction unit were compared with age-matched controls (n = 70). Full-mouth examination and oral hygiene behaviours were recorded for all participants.

Bariatric surgery and periodontal status: A systematic review with meta-analysis.

Objective: To review and analyze periodontal clinical parameters after bariatric surgery.

Background: Periodontitis, a dysbiotic inflammatory disease, has been associated with obesity. The purpose of bariatric surgery is to reduce weight and systemic inflammation.

Association between individual and neighbourhood socioeconomic factors and masticatory efficiency: a cross-sectional analysis of the Paris Prospective Study 3.

Background: There is a lack of evidence on the impact of socioeconomic factors on masticatory efficiency. The present study investigates the relationship between individual and neighbourhood socioeconomic factors (main exposure) and the number of masticatory units (MUs) used as surrogate of the masticatory efficiency (main outcome).

Methods: In this cross-sectional study nested in the Paris Prospective Study 3, 4270 adults aged 50-75 and recruited from 13 June 2008 to 31 May 2012 underwent a full-mouth examination.

Risk factors in periodontology: a conceptual framework.

Aim: The definition and assessment of risk factors, risk indicators and predisposing factors are of paramount importance in the understanding of the pathogenesis of periodontitis, as well as in its prevention and treatment. This article aims to emphasize the concepts of causal chains and the causal network of risk factors in periodontitis.

Materials And Methods: This is a narrative review focusing on two main questions: (1) what is a risk in periodontology? and (2) how can a risk be assessed?

Results: The probability of the occurrence of an adverse outcome following exposure is not sufficient to analyse the impact of a risk factor on the disease.

Detection of Porphyromonas gingivalis and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans after Systemic Administration of Amoxicillin Plus Metronidazole as an Adjunct to Non-surgical Periodontal Therapy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Objective: To evaluate the variations in the detection of Porphyromonas gingivalis and/or Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans before and after systemic administration of amoxicillin plus metronidazole in association with non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT).

Background: The adjunctive use of antibiotics has been advocated to improve the clinical outcomes of NSPT. However, no systematic review has investigated the microbiological benefit of this combination.

Periodontal microbiota and phospholipases: the Oral Infections and Vascular Disease Epidemiology Study (INVEST).

Objective: Periodontal infections have been linked to cardiovascular disease, including atherosclerosis, and systemic inflammation has been proposed as a possible mediator. Secretory phospholipase A2 (s-PLA2) and Lipoprotein-associated PLA2 (Lp-PLA2) are inflammatory enzymes associated with atherosclerosis. No data are available on the association between oral microbiota and PLA2s.

Periodontitis and retinal microcirculation in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study.

Aim: The aim of this cross-sectional study is to explore if periodontitis is associated with alterations of the retinal microcirculation, a predictive marker of cardiovascular events.

Material And Methods: Of 457 subjects aged 52 years and more from the ARIC cohort were included. Retinal vascular diameters were measured and summarized as central retinal arteriolar/venular equivalents (CRAE/CRVE).

Clinical review: Bariatric surgery following treatment for craniopharyngioma: a systematic review and individual-level data meta-analysis.

Objectives: Craniopharyngiomas are rare low-grade tumors located in the hypothalamic and/or pituitary region. Hypothalamic involvement and treatment resulting in hypothalamic damage are known to lead to development of "hypothalamic obesity" (HyOb) in 50% of cases. The management of HyOb, associated with eating disorders and rapid comorbidities, is an important issue.

Orosomucoid, a new biomarker in the association between obesity and periodontitis.

Epidemiological data indicate an association between periodontitis and obesity. The biological mechanisms of this relationship remain unclear. A cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between periodontitis and the common systemic inflammatory markers in 32 morbidly obese patients recruited in a Clinical Nutrition department.

Obesity and the microvasculature: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Overweight and obesity are thought to significantly influence a person's risk of cardiovascular disease, possibly via its effect on the microvasculature. Retinal vascular caliber is a surrogate marker of microvascular disease and a predictor of cardiovascular events. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine the association between body mass index (BMI) and retinal vascular caliber.

Education as a predictor of chronic periodontitis: a systematic review with meta-analysis population-based studies.

Background: The impact of socioeconomic inequalities on health is well-documented. Despite the links of periodontal disease with cardiovascular diseases, adverse pregnancy outcomes and diabetes, no meta-analysis of socioeconomic variations in periodontal disease exists. This meta-analytic review was conducted to determine the extent to which education attainment influences risk of periodontitis in adults aged 35+ years in the general population.
