Periodontitis vs Individuals without periodontal disease (by LOA)

Malignant transformation (oral cancer development) · Adults in case-control studies of oral cancer; people assessed for periodontitis

Periodontitis is associated with roughly a threefold higher odds of oral cancer (pooled OR 2.94, 95% CI 2.13-4.07; low certainty of evidence), though heterogeneity is moderate (I2=52.4%).

Root caries (presence of root caries) · Adults (mean age ~53 years)

Adults with periodontal disease had significantly higher odds of root caries than those without (pooled OR 1.38, 95% CI 1.25 to 1.53; 2 observational studies; low certainty).
