Periodontal status in children with primary immunodeficiencies.

Objective: This study aimed to assess associations between neutrophil-related primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) and the presence of periodontal disease and other oral diseases and response to periodontal treatment.

Background: Presence of neutrophil-related PIDs is thought to be a major risk factor for development of periodontitis.

Methods: This study had both a cross-sectional and cohort design.

Heritability of periodontitis: A systematic review of evidence from animal studies.

Objective: The aim of this study was to quantify the heritability of periodontitis via a systematic appraisal of the existing evidence derived from animal studies.

Design: A search was conducted through the electronic databases MEDLINE, Embase, LILACS, Cochrane Library, Open Grey, Google Scholar and ResearchGate, complemented by a hand search, for studies reporting measures of heritability of periodontitis. After full-text reading, 7 studies conducted on animal models met the inclusion criteria.

What Is the Heritability of Periodontitis? A Systematic Review.

The aim of this study was to systematically appraise the existing literature on the yet-unclear heritability of gingivitis and periodontitis. This review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines. A search was conducted through the electronic databases Medline, Embase, LILACS, Cochrane Library, Open Grey, Google Scholar, and Research Gate, as complemented by a hand search, for human studies reporting measures of heritability of gingivitis and periodontitis.
