Periodontal therapy and cardiovascular risk

Orlandi, Marco, Graziani, Filippo, D'Aiuto, Francesco·2020·Periodontology 2000

Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases are the worldwide leading cause of mortality. Cardiovascular diseases are noncommunicable conditions with a complex pathogenesis, and their clinical manifestations include major cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction and stroke. Epidemiologic evidence suggests a consistent association between periodontitis and increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Some evidence supports a beneficial effect of the treatment of periodontitis on both surrogate and hard cardiovascular outcomes. This narrative review has been conducted as an update of the most recent evidence on the effects of periodontitis treatment on cardiovascular outcomes since the last commissioned review of the European Federation of Periodontology‐American Academy of Periodontology World Workshop in 2012. Newer evidence originating from published randomized controlled trials confirms a positive effect of periodontal treatment on surrogate measures of cardiovascular diseases, whereas there have been no randomized controlled trials investigating the effect of periodontal treatment on the incidence of cardiovascular disease events such as myocardial infarction and stroke. In conclusion, there is sufficient evidence from observational and experimental studies on surrogate cardiovascular measures to justify the design and conduct of appropriately powered randomized controlled trials investigating the effect of effective periodontal interventions on cardiovascular disease outcomes (ie, myocardial infarction and stroke) with adequate control of traditional cardiovascular risk factors.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • An increased bacterial burden could represent a plausible mechanism for increases in white blood cell counts, release of proinflammatory cytokines, and then resulting in sustained release of acute phase proteins such as CRP.

    “An increased bacterial burden could represent a plausible mechanism for increases in white blood cell counts (Luthra et al., 2019), release of proinflammatory cytokines (interleukins) and then resulting in sustained release of acute phase proteins such as CRP (Tonetti et al., 2007; Orlandi et al., 2020) (Figure 6).”
  • The association between periodontitis and CVD is independent of other risk factors such as age, gender, dyslipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, and lifestyle factors such as smoking.

    “It has been proved that there is an association between periodontitis and CVD, and this relation has been reported to be independent of other risk factors such as age, gender, dyslipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, and lifestyle factors such as smoking [12, 13].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
