Periodontal disease is associated with cognitive dysfunction in aging dogs: a blinded prospective comparison of visual periodontal and cognitive questionnaire scores [PDF]
Background: Periodontal disease has been linked to the development of Alzheimer’s disease in people. It is theorized that the chronic inflammatory condition characteristic of oral dysbiosis in patients with periodontal disease leads to disruption of the ...

An End-to-end Entangled Segmentation and Classification Convolutional Neural Network for Periodontitis Stage Grading from Periapical Radiographic Images [PDF]
Periodontitis is a biofilm-related chronic inflammatory disease characterized by gingivitis and bone loss in the teeth area. Approximately 61 million adults over 30 suffer from periodontitis (42.2%), with 7.8% having severe periodontitis in the United States.

A latent factor model for spatial data with informative missingness [PDF]
A large amount of data is typically collected during a periodontal exam. Analyzing these data poses several challenges. Several types of measurements are taken at many locations throughout the mouth. These spatially-referenced data are a mix of binary and continuous responses, making joint modeling difficult.

Periodontitis and preeclampsia in pregnancy: A systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]
Objectives: A conflicting body of evidence suggests localized periodontal inflammation to spread systemically during pregnancy inducing adverse pregnancy outcomes. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to specifically evaluate the relationship between periodontitis and preeclampsia.

Pseudo-value regression of clustered multistate current status data with informative cluster sizes [PDF]
Multistate current status (CS) data presents a more severe form of censoring due to the single observation of study participants transitioning through a sequence of well-defined disease states at random inspection times. Moreover, these data may be clustered within specified groups, and informativeness of the cluster sizes may arise due to the existing
