The new 2018 classification of periodontal diseases is reported to be related to tooth loss due to periodontal disease (TLPD) during supportive periodontal therapy (SPT). However, few reports have eva...
Early-stage cancer diagnosis is critical for higher survival rates. Because early cancers can be difficult to detect, our focus is on the identification of cancer risk markers such as pleiotropic gene...
We investigated the association between tooth loss and structural brain volume and its mediating effect on the association between tooth loss and cognitive function in older Japanese....
A cross-sectional study was conducted by using the data of 494 randomly sampled community-dwelling individuals aged 65-84 years living in Tokamachi City, Japan. Total brain volume (TBV), gray matter v...
Respondents with no teeth showed lower cognitive function (coefficient = -4.01; 95% confidence interval [CI]: -7.19, -0.82), lower TBV (coefficient = -10.34; 95% CI: -22.84, 2.17), and lower GMV (coef...
GMV was suggested to mediate the relationship between tooth loss and lower cognitive function....
Although tooth loss is widely recognized as a typical sign of aging, whether it is associated with accelerated aging, and to what extent diet quality mediates this association are unknown....
Data were collected from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The missing tooth counts were recorded as the number of edentulous sites. Phenotypic accelerated aging was calculated usi...
The association between tooth loss and accelerated aging was confirmed. The highest quartile of tooth loss showed a positive association with accelerated aging (β=1.090; 95% confidence interval, 0.555...
The association between tooth loss and accelerated aging, as well as the partially mediating role of dietary quality in this association was confirmed. These findings suggested that more attention sho...
The effect of health inequalities is determined by different socioeconomic, sex, and race conditions. This study aimed to analyze the association of tooth loss with race (defined by self-reported skin...

Gingival recession (Class II-IV) (65.8%) was the most prevalent periodontal disease among SLT users. CPI score was high (CPI score 3 and 4) in 31.3% participants, whereas tooth loss was found in 21%. ...
The study found statistically significant association between duration in years of using SLT and periodontal disease including gingival recession, tooth mobility and tooth loss. However, no significan...
To study the association between periodontitis, tooth loss, and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by using a large national dataset....
An observational cross-sectional study was performed using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey cycles (2009-2014). RA status was detected using a questionnaire. Periodontal status was...
Moderate/severe periodontitis was more prevalent in participants reporting RA (53% vs. 41.5%, p = .0003). Non-functional dentition was more prevalent in participants with RA (41% vs. 15.5%, p = .0001)...
RA was associated with a higher likelihood of having non-functional dentition but did not show any association with periodontitis after adjusting for the risk factors to control their confounding effe...
Vision and hearing impairments can reduce participation in social activities. Given the prominent role of the mouth in face-to-face interactions, this study evaluated the associations of tooth loss, v...
This analysis included 1947 participants, aged 60+ years, who participated in three waves (2006, 2010, and 2015) of the Health, Wellbeing and Aging Study (SABE) in Brazil. Social participation was mea...
Each impairment was associated with the baseline social participation score and the annual rate of change in the social participation score. Participants with 1-19 (incidence rate ratio: 0.96, 95% CI:...
This 9-year longitudinal study shows that tooth loss, vision, and hearing impairments are associated with reduced social participation among older adults....
The purpose of this research was to determine if there is a difference in dental visits or missing teeth among Indigenous people in the USA (American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) adults) by geographic...
Data were obtained from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), 2020, limited to AI/AN adults ≥18 years, n=6640. Participants self-identified as AI/AN adults, and provided information ...
There were significantly more adults with missing teeth among rural AI/AN adults as compared with urban AI/AN adults. In adjusted analysis, adjusted odds ratio was 1.33 (95%CI: 1.02-1.73; p=0.04) for ...
Interventions addressing rural AI/AN adults in maintaining teeth are critically needed....
This study aimed to clarify the relationships among tooth loss, periodontal condition, and subclinical atherosclerosis from the aspect of intensity, extent, and duration of inflammation....
This cross-sectional study included 9,778 people from the Nagahama Study, a large-scale, general population-based study conducted in Japan. The number of teeth and periodontal status, including the at...
In the multivariate analysis adjusted for conventional risk factors, a large number of missing teeth (＜9 remaining teeth), which related to long-lasting inflammation indicative of the highest stage of...
The present results suggest that the association between periodontitis and atherosclerosis depends on the inflammation intensity, extent, and duration....
