Oral Health, Periodontitis, and Respiratory Diseases: Biological Pathways
Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.This narrative review aims to provide a comprehensive update on the potential mechanisms by which poor oral health and periodontitis impact lung health, focusing on pneumonia, COPD, and asthma. ABSTRACT Poor oral hygiene and periodontitis influence lung diseases such as pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), COVID‐19, and asthma.

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.The aim of this SR was to investigate the risk of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its single components in individuals with or without periodontitis/edentulism. Within the limits of this SR, periodontitis was associated with one or more new MetS components and the association may be higher for severe periodontitis.

Periodontitis and Diabetes: Mechanistic Evidence of a Circular Relationship
Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.This narrative review aimed to explore the underlying mechanisms that connect periodontitis to diabetes (and vice versa) and that influence disease susceptibility, progression and response to treatment. ABSTRACT The circular relationship between periodontitis and diabetes mellitus is one of the most established oral‐systemic links.

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.Periodontal diseases affect over a billion people worldwide, yet remain weakly integrated into global non‐communicable disease agendas. We propose reorienting periodontal care around three public health opportunities—upstream prevention, diagnosis fit for both clinical and population use, and value‐based treatment—prioritizing prevention, value, and ...

Periodontitis and Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes: Mechanistic Evidence
Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.This narrative review aims to describe mechanisms linking periodontal diseases in pregnancy with adverse pregnancy outcomes. ABSTRACT Periodontal diseases, including both gingivitis and periodontitis, occur commonly among pregnant individuals. Both gingivitis and periodontitis are associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) such as early ...
