Why it matters for dental

Periodontal practices and general dentists treating gingivitis can use the identified local and systemic risk-factor profiles to target preventive interventions and reduce biofilm-induced disease progression.

Key points

  • Systematic review synthesizes current evidence on modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors for dental biofilm-induced gingivitis.
  • Categorizes factors into local (e.g., plaque-retentive surfaces, restorations) and systemic (e.g., metabolic, hormonal, pharmacologic) domains.
  • Provides evidence-based guidance for clinicians to prioritize risk-factor control during diagnosis and maintenance appointments.
  • Published in Journal of Clinical Periodontology, EarlyView.
