Keyword(s):
IntroductionWe aimed to determine if periodontal health deteriorates after bariatric surgery (BS).Material and methodsA search was performed in Medline and Embase, for prospective cohort studies with data on change in periodontal parameters after BS. Me�ta-analysis was performed with available data.ResultsThe results of 4 included studies consistently show significant (p<0.05) worsening of bleeding on probing (4.21% (CI: 0.32, 8.11)), clinical attachment loss (0.16mm (CI: 0.05, 0.27)), periodontal pockets depth (PPD) (0.14mm(CI: 0.06, 0.23)) and percentage of PPD 4-5 mm: 1.72% (CI: 0.11, 3.34) 6-months after BS, but no change after 12-months.ConclusionsBS may have a transient negative consequence on periodontal health.
