Periodontal Probing Depth Trajectory in 10 Years of Follow-Up as Associated With Tooth Loss.
J Clin Periodontol
January 2025
Aim: To elucidate whether ranked probing depth (PD) data translate into ranked PD outcomes after 10 years of follow-up and the associated tooth loss.
Materials And Methods: From the Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP-START), all participants were retrospectively included with complete PD measurements in both baseline and 10-year follow-up, comprising 1887 participants. The trajectory of percentile-based quintiles of mean PD measurements was followed.
In population-based longitudinal studies, bias caused by nonresponse among eligible participants and attrition during follow-up thwarts conclusions. As this issue is not commonly addressed in dental studies, it is the aim of this study to examine the consequences of attrition with respect to tooth loss and mortality in a 10-y follow-up study. From the Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP-0), a biological age (BA) score was constructed from 10 systemic biomarkers and related to one's actual chronological age (CA).

- In high-income countries, factors like public health initiatives, use of oral care products, and dental treatment costs have shaped oral health outcomes over the past three decades, with notable trends in tooth retention and health.* -
- The prevalence of missing teeth decreased while the number of retained teeth increased; however, severe periodontitis rates remained stable, suggesting limited effectiveness of periodontal interventions.* -
- Improvements in oral health were linked to higher education levels, reduced smoking rates, and increased use of fluoride toothpaste and oral care products, with lifestyle changes playing a significant role in overall dental health.*
Article Synopsis
- The study examines basketball-related injuries in NBA players from the 2013-2014 to 2018-2019 seasons to understand injury trends and impacts over time.
- Analysis of injuries using the NBA Injury and Illness Database showed that annual injury incidence ranged from 1550 to 1892, with a significant proportion leading to missed games.
- Results indicated that preseason games had the highest injury rates, while playoff games had the lowest, and most injuries were acute and often resulted from contact with other players.
