Systemic Profile and Periodontal Condition of Hospitalized Women with High-Risk Pregnancy: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Introduction: The physiological changes in mother-infant pairs during pregnancy increase the susceptibility to a series of infections, including those of the oral cavity. Therefore, the oral and systemic health of pregnant women is related to adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Objective: This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the systemic profile and periodontal status of women with a high-risk pregnancy.

Higher frequency of specific periodontopathogens in hypertensive patients. A pilot study.

Periodontitis and arterial hypertension are two of the pathologies with the highest global prevalence; evidence reported so far has been favorable to an association between them. This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate and compare the microbiological counts of hypertensive and normotensive patients with periodontitis. Sociodemographic, behavioral, systemic health data and periodontal clinical parameters were assessed.

ANTI-PLAQUE AND ANTI-GINGIVITIS EFFICACY OF DIFFERENT BRISTLE STIFFNESS AND END-SHAPE TOOTHBRUSHES ON INTERPROXIMAL SURFACES: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW WITH META-ANALYSIS.

Objective: This systematic review aimed to evaluate the efficacy of interproximal plaque scores and gingival inflammation reduction of different toothbrush bristle stiffness and end-shape.

Methods: Randomized clinical trials evaluating the effect of different toothbrushes on interproximal plaque/gingivitis reduction, with a minimum follow-up of 1 week. MEDLINE-PubMed, Scopus and Embase were searched.

Are periodontal diseases associated with sleep duration or sleep quality? A systematic review.

Objectives: This study aimed to systematically review the associations between periodontal diseases/tooth loss and sleep duration/quality.

Material And Methods: PubMed, Scopus, and Embase databases were searched (up to May 2021) to identify studies that assessed the association between periodontal diseases or number of teeth with sleep quality and sleep duration. Two researchers independently selected the studies and extracted the data.

Association between clinical measures of gingival inflammation and obesity in adults: systematic review and meta-analyses.

Objective: This study aimed to systematically review the literature about the association between clinical measures of gingival inflammation and obesity in adults.

Material And Methods: Searches for studies were performed in five databases (Medline-PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Embase) to compile studies of any design that evaluated the association between clinical measures of gingival inflammation and obesity in adults. Selection of studies, data extraction and risk of bias analysis were performed independently by two reviewers, and a third researcher was involved to resolve disagreements.

Complications and sequelae of concussion and subluxation in permanent teeth: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background/aim: The overall prognosis for teeth that have suffered concussion and/or subluxation is not yet known. The aim of this study was to systematically review the literature to identify the incidence of sequelae or complications associated with concussion and subluxation of permanent teeth.

Methods: Four databases were used as follows: PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Lilacs.
