Periodontitis and Diabetes: Mechanistic Evidence of a Circular Relationship
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.

Viruses, Periodontitis, and Systemic Diseases
This narrative review aimed to summarize current evidence on the viral involvement in periodontitis and its relevance for systemic diseases. The oral cavity acts as an active viral reservoir and dissemination platform, where virus–microbiome interactions may promote dysbiosis, periodontitis progression, and systemic inflammatory effects, while the ...

Causal Inference in Clinical Research: A Primer
Causal inference helps researchers move beyond describing associations to answering the question: what would happen if an exposure were changed? This article provides an intuitive overview for applied researchers. ABSTRACT The study of causal relationships is central to scientific inquiry. Understanding what disease is, why it arises, and how it can be

Genomic Evidence on Antihypertensive Drug Targets and Oral Disease Outcomes
Key Findings Drug‐target Mendelian randomization showed little evidence that genetically proxied on‐target pharmacological actions of most antihypertensive drug classes were associated with chronic periodontitis or dental caries. The diazoxide–periodontitis association requires cautious interpretation, given possible residual pleiotropy at KCNJ11 and ...

ABSTRACT Insomnia may play a causal role in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Addressing insomnia through cognitive behavioural therapy (CBTi) in people with non‐diabetic hyperglycaemia could potentially reduce the risk of progression to T2D. To inform a future randomised trial, we performed a feasibility study of digital CBT (dCBTi) in individuals at increased ...
