Aim: The aim of this position paper is to investigate the current state of the evidence for proposed associations between periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer's disease, obesity, inflammatory cancers, and renal disease using a narrative review approach. This is the last of a series of 5 position papers from the Canadian Dental Hygienists Association (CDHA) on the relationship between periodontitis and systemic conditions.
Methods: Individual literature searches were conducted for each of the 5 proposed linkages and limited to human studies, with a preference for systematic reviews (SRs) and prospective studies, in the English language, published between 2015 and 2021, focused on associations between 1) periodontitis and rheumatoid arthritis; 2) periodontitis and Alzheimer's disease/cognitive impairment; 3) periodontitis and obesity; 4) periodontitis and inflammatory cancers; and 5) periodontitis and chronic kidney disease. Databases searched were PubMed, MEDLINE/OVID, CINAHL, Scopus, Cochrane Registry of Systematic Reviews, and Web of Science.
Results: A total of 39 papers were selected for discussion, including 6 SRs for rheumatoid arthritis; 7 SRs for Alzheimer's disease/cognitive impairment; 11 SRs, 1 meta-review of SRs, and 1 population-based cohort study for obesity; 9 SRs for inflammatory cancers; and 4 SRs for kidney disease.
Conclusions: The evidence for the 5 proposed associations varied in strength, with obesity being most strongly associated with periodontal disease. More robust studies are recommended to clarify the exact nature of these associations.

Objectives: Copaiba essential oil (CEO) is obtained through the distillation of copaiba balsam and has been used in the traditional medicine to treat inflammatory conditions. However, the highly lipophilic nature of CEO restricts its pharmaceutical use. This study evaluated the effect of CEO, carried in a self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system (SNEDDS), on articular and systemic inflammation and liver changes in Holtzman rats with Freund's adjuvant-induced arthritis.

Objective: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is rare, but it is one of the most frequent extra-articular manifestations and a relevant cause of morbidity and mortality in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Over the past few years, Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKis) have been reported to have promising efficacy in the treatment of active RA, but recent concerns have been raised about their safety profile, namely malignancy and cardiovascular disease, limiting their use to certain patient categories.
Methods: The objective of this narrative review is to summarize the current evidence of the efficacy and safety of JAKis in RA-ILD management, investigating a possible emerging role for this drug class in such subset of patients.
