Metabolic Profiling of Individuals with Missing Teeth and Tooth Loss.

Missing teeth have been linked to incident cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and all-cause mortality. Our previous study revealed that signs of oral infections and inflammatory conditions (i.e.

Multikingdom oral microbiome interactions in early-onset cryptogenic ischemic stroke.

Although knowledge of the role of the oral microbiome in ischemic stroke is steadily increasing, little is known about the multikingdom microbiota interactions and their consequences. We enrolled participants from a prospective multicentre case-control study and investigated multikingdom microbiome differences using saliva metagenomic datasets ( = 308) from young patients diagnosed with cryptogenic ischemic stroke (CIS) and age- and sex-matched stroke-free controls. Differentially abundant taxa were identified using Analysis of Compositions of Microbiomes with Bias Correction (ANCOM-BC2).

Burden of oral diseases predicts development of excess weight in early adolescence: a 2-year longitudinal study.

Unlabelled: Dental caries, gingivitis, and excess weight are highly prevalent, interconnected chronic conditions. The association of oral health with the development of adiposity among children is sparsely addressed. We examined the association of oral health to the development of excess weight and central obesity in early adolescence during a 2-year follow-up period.

Periodontitis, Dental Procedures, and Young-Onset Cryptogenic Stroke.

Periodontitis is associated with an increased risk of ischemic stroke, and the risk may be particularly high among young people with unexplained stroke etiology. Thus, we investigated in a case-control study whether periodontitis or recent invasive dental treatments are associated with young-onset cryptogenic ischemic stroke (CIS). We enrolled participants from a multicenter case-control SECRETO study including adults aged 18 to 49 y presenting with an imaging-positive first-ever CIS and stroke-free age- and sex-matched controls.

Shotgun metagenomic analysis of the oral microbiome in gingivitis: a nested case-control study.

Background: Gingivitis, i.e. inflammation of the gums, is often induced by dentalplaque.
