Why it matters for dental

Periodontitis and peri-implantitis share an inflammasome-driven inflammatory pathway, so implant patients with periodontitis may face higher risk of peri-implant breakdown. Periodontists, oral surgeons, and hygienists may need to intensify recall intervals and hygiene protocols for implant patients with a periodontitis history.

Key points

  • A cross-sectional study in BMC Oral Health examined the association between parity and radiographic periodontal bone loss in women diagnosed with periodontitis.
  • The study population consisted of women who had already received a periodontitis diagnosis.
  • Researchers assessed radiographic bone loss as the outcome measure.
