Article Synopsis
- The systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the presence of malondialdehyde (MDA), a marker of oxidative stress, in patients with periodontitis.
- A total of 1,166 articles were reviewed, leading to the selection of 34 studies for qualitative synthesis and 16 for quantitative analysis, which consistently showed elevated MDA levels in periodontitis patients compared to healthy controls.
- The findings indicate a significant association between higher MDA levels and increased oxidative stress in individuals with periodontitis, highlighting its potential role in the condition's progression.
