The Relationship

Periodontal disease is an inflammatory disease caused by pathogenic oral microorganisms that leads to the destruction of alveolar bone and connective tissues around the teeth. Although many studies have shown that periodontal disease is a risk factor for systemic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, the relationship between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and periodontal disease has not yet been clarified. Thus, the purpose of this review was to reveal the relationship between NAFLD and periodontal disease based on epidemiological studies, basic research, and immunology. Many cross-sectional and prospective epidemiological studies have indicated that periodontal disease is a risk factor for NAFLD. An in vivo animal model revealed that infection with periodontopathic bacteria accelerates the progression of NAFLD accompanied by enhanced steatosis. Moreover, the detection of periodontopathic bacteria in the liver may demonstrate that the bacteria have a direct impact on NAFLD. Furthermore, Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide induces inflammation and accumulation of intracellular lipids in hepatocytes. Th17 may be a key molecule for explaining the relationship between periodontal disease and NAFLD. In this review, we attempted to establish that oral health is essential for systemic health, especially in patients with NAFLD.

Periodontal disease is a broad spectrum that involves different entities and severity levels of the disease. Dental implants, just like normal teeth, can be affected by periodontal disease. This descriptive questionnaire-based study provides a brief shot on the most prevalent periodontal diseases associated with dental implants, associated risk factors, and levels of understanding and awareness about oral hygiene in the Saudi population. Results concluded that 10.5% of population have dental implants. 28.5% the sample confirmed that they have some sort of periodontal disease. Most prevalent symptoms among patients with dental implants are in order: periodontal pockets, redness and blood spitting after tooth brushing, and finally gingival recession. Most associated co-morbidities are cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus. Regarding oral hygiene, through assessing two oral health concepts: twice daily tooth brushing, and balanced diet, it is found that more than half of the sample (51.3%) apply these two concepts in their life, while the rest of the sample misses one or both of these two concepts. Focus should be directed toward raising the public awareness about periodontal disease and its symptoms, especially in cases of dental implants, and raising understanding and awareness about different oral health concepts.

Aim. Is to evaluate the dental status of students studying at the Dental Faculty of FSBEI HE PRMU MOH of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation and to identify its effect on the psycho-emotional state.Materials and metods. The study involved 500 students of the Faculty of Dentistry FSBEI HE PRMU of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. All subjects, in accordance with the index of the OHI-S index, were divided into three groups depending on the index of cavity hygiene: the first group, the OHI-S index was less than 0.7 points (good level of oral hygiene) – group 1A-in it included 125 Russian students (50%), group 1B-95 of foreign students (38%); The 2nd group, the OHI-S indicator is from 0.8 to 1.6 points (a satisfactory level of oral hygiene) – group 2A – it includes 80 Russian students (32%), group 2B – it includes 65 foreign students (26%); Group 3: the OHI-S indicator is more than 1.7 points (unsatisfactory index of oral hygiene) – group 3A – it included 45 Russian students (18%), group 3B – it included 90 foreign students (36%). The prevalence and intensity of the carious process was evaluated using the DMF index, the oral hygiene was assessed using the OHI-S index according to J. Green, J. Vermillion, the periodontal tissue condition was assessed using the CPI index (complex periodontal index), and Kechka bleeding index. The following tests were used to assess the psychoemotional status: Spilberger-Hanin anxiety test, HAM test, suggestibility and stress tolerance test. To assess the results and conduct comparative characteristics, we used the analysis of variance, the Biostat program, and also the Microsoft Excel software product using the Student criterion.Results. The prevalence of dental caries is 98%. The average rate of tooth decay in Russian students was 5.8 ± 0.23, and in foreign students 7.6 ± 0.3. A study of the CPI index revealed with a satisfactory level of hygiene: mild periodontal tissue lesions in 28% of Russian students, 4% have a medium periodontal lesion, 18% of foreign students have a mild periodontal tissue lesion, 6% have an average periodontal lesion; with an unsatisfactory level of hygiene, 16% of Russian students have an average degree of periodontal damage and 2% have a severe periodontal disease, 32% of foreign students have an average periodontal disease and 4% have a severe periodontal disease. Analysis of the HAM test showed a decrease in the number of foreign students by the 5th year of study with a high level of well-being, for Russian students by the 5th year of study, the average level of well-being, activity and mood was characteristic. A low level was characteristic of 2nd year students of the Russian and foreign departments.Conclusions. A study of the psychoemotional state of students at a medical university revealed a high level of activity, well-being and mood among students of the Russian department and average rates among students of a foreign department, which is explained by low oral hygiene and high caries intensity, a change in climatic conditions and place of residence, a change in diet, emotional and physical overload.

Background: Oral pathogens may exert the ability to trigger differently the activation of local macrophage immune responses, for instance Porphyromonas gingivalis and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans induce predominantly pro-inflammatory (M1-like phenotypes) responses, while oral commensal microbiota primarily elicits macrophage functions consistent with the anti-inflammatory (M2-like phenotypes). Methods: In healthy individuals vs. periodontal disease patients’ blood samples, the differentiation process from monocyte to M1 and M2 was conducted using two typical growth factors, the granulocyte/macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and the macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF). Results: In contrast with the current literature our outcomes showed a noticeable increase of macrophage polarization from healthy individuals vs. periodontal patients. The biological and clinical significance of these data was discussed. Conclusions: Our translational findings showed a significant variance between control versus periodontal disease groups in M1 and M2 marker expression within the second group significantly lower skews differentiation of M2-like macrophages towards an M1-like phenotype. Macrophage polarization in periodontal tissue may be responsible for the development and progression of inflammation-induced periodontal tissue damage, including alveolar bone loss, and modulating macrophage function may be a potential strategy for periodontal disease management.

Periodontal disease is inflammation of the gums and without good oral hygiene, it can progress to periodontitis. Oral hygiene might be related to a patient’s health literacy (HL), defined as ability to gain access, understand, and use information to promote and maintain good health. The aim of our study is to examine the associations of HL with indicators of periodontal disease. A cross-sectional study on 1117 adults (36.2% males; mean age = 36.4, SD = 14.2) attending dental hygiene treatment was conducted. Data on demographics, socioeconomic status, and nine domains of HL (Health Literacy Questionnaire, HLQ) were collected by questionnaire, and Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs (CPITN) was established by the dental hygienist. Data were analysed using t-tests and logistic regression. Respondents with periodontal disease (N = 152) had statistically significantly lower levels of HL in seven out of nine HLQ domains compared to intact patients (N = 818) (t from 3.03 to 4.75, p < 0.01). Association of higher HL in seven domains with lower chance of diagnosed periodontal disease remain significant even after adjustment for age, gender and educational attainment (adjusted ORs 0.55–0.67, p < 0.05). Our findings confirm that an individual’s lower HL is significantly associated with higher chance of periodontal disease incidence, specifically among Slovak adults attending oral hygiene clinics. HL might be a promising factor in the improvement of oral health in this population, worthy of consideration in intervention and preventive activities.

Background and objectives: We aimed to assess the prevalence of periodontal disease among obese young adults in Saudi Arabia and to analyze the association between different body mass indexes and the severity of periodontal disease. Materials and methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study consisted of 307 obese patients aged 18–39 years, with body mass index (BMI) ≥30. Demographic variables for periodontal disease, anthropometric parameters such as BMI along with clinical parameters such as oral hygiene index-simplified, community periodontal index (CPI) score and loss of attachment (LOA), were assessed. Multivariate binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify the predictors for chronic periodontitis in obese young adults between 18–40 years of age. Results: The majority of the participants (71.3%) had periodontal disease. Obese and extremely obese patients together showed a statistically significant difference in the age group of 21-30 years in terms of CPI score for inflammation (p < 0.05) and LOA (p < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed age (OR: 3.180; 95%CL: 1.337–7.561; p <.001), occasional dental visit (OR: 5.965; 95%CL: 3.130–11.368; p < 0.001), smoking >10 cigarettes (OR: 11.868; 95%CL: 3.588–39.254; p < 0.001) and poor oral hygiene status (OR: 17.250; 95%CL: 6.958–42.764; p < 0.001) were associated with a significantly higher risk of having periodontal disease. Conclusions: This study showed a high prevalence of periodontal disease in obese patients among the Saudi Arabian population.
