“…Dental caries and periodontal disease are common infectious oral diseases, and are known to be associated with various systemic diseases [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. We recently reinforced the new evidence of the association between periodontal disease and asthma, as well as novel insight into the close association between gingivitis and otitis media/externa [11].…”

“…Oral infectious diseases that are typified by dental caries and periodontal diseases are associated with various systemic diseases including heart disease, diabetes, respiratory disease, rheumatism, metabolic syndrome, systemic infection, and malignant tumors [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Our recent study revealed new insights into the close association of gum bleeding with otitis media/externa in late adolescence [11].…”

Background: Oral infectious diseases are typified by dental caries and periodontal diseases and are known to be associated with various systemic diseases. However, clear associations between occlusal disorders and systemic diseases have not yet been established. We investigated the association between an awareness of malocclusion and common diseases in late adolescence. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the data of mandatory medical questionnaires that are a legal requirement of the freshman medical checkup. We collected the data of all the students who completed the questionnaires between April 2017 and 2019. The data were analyzed using the χ2 test and multivariate analysis was performed with a binomial logistic regression model. Results: The subjects were 9098 students aged 17–19 (mean age 18.3 years). The rate of awareness of malocclusion was 2.14% (195 out of 9098 eligible subjects; 160 males and 35 females). These students had significantly greater rates of allergic rhinitis, asthma, and arrhythmia (p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis revealed significant rates of allergic rhinitis (odds ratio [OR] 2.184, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.468–3.250, p < 0.001), asthma (OR 1.843, 95%CI: 1.153–2.945, p = 0.011), and arrhythmia (OR 2.809, 95%CI: 1.083–7.288, p = 0.034) among students with an awareness of malocclusion. Conclusion: We identified close associations between an awareness of malocclusion and systemic diseases including allergic rhinitis, asthma, and arrhythmia in the late adolescent population. These results reinforce the associations between malocclusion and allergic rhinitis and asthma, as well as providing novel insight into the association of malocclusion and arrhythmia. However, further research is necessary to confirm the associations and explore the mechanisms underlying these associations.

“…However, emerging evidence suggests that poor oral health influences not only oral diseases such as dental caries and periodontitis but also systemic disorders such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease, metabolic syndrome, preterm delivery, and osteoporosis, to name a few [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]. We have also shown that the imbalance of oral bacterial flora deriving from poor oral health can lead to several systemic diseases [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 ]. Therefore, maintaining good oral health is crucial for not only prevention of local oral diseases but also prevention and management of systemic diseases [ 20 ].…”

Background: The number of international students enrolled in universities in Japan is increasing. To provide better oral care services for international students, we have to understand their oral environment and dental health behaviors. However, few studies have investigated the oral health status of international university students. The object of the present study was to clarify the current oral status of international university students. Methods: The subjects were students who visited the dental department at the University of Tokyo’s Health Services Center between April 2012 and March 2013. Our medical records were reviewed with regard to the following items: attributes (nationality, gender, and age); chief complaint (reason for visit); history of dental treatment; mean number of decayed (D), missing (M) or filled (F) teeth as a single (DMFT) index; degree of calculus deposition; gingival condition; and oral hygiene status. Results: The records of 554 university students (138 international and 416 non-international students) were analyzed; 88.4% of the 138 international students were from Asian countries (n = 122), of which 47.1% were from China and 10.9% from Korea, followed by North America (5.8%), Europe (4.3%), and Africa (1.5%). Although no significant differences were found regarding the history of dental treatment between international and non-international students (49.3% and 48.8%, respectively), international students had a significantly higher dental caries morbidity rate (60.1%) than non-international students (49.0%). The international students showed a significantly higher DMFT value compared with the non-international students: 5.0 and 4.0 per individual, respectively. Severe calculus deposition was observed in international students compared with non-international students (51.9% and 31.7%, respectively). Conclusions: The international university students had poorer oral health status than the non-international students, even though the result might include many uncertainties and possible biases.

“…Periodontal diseases (gingivitis and periodontitis) are highly prevalent, affecting up to 90% of the worldwide population [1]. They have been associated with various systemic diseases such as heart diseases, diabetes, respiratory diseases, rheumatism, metabolic syndrome, and so on [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Even in adolescents, the presence of gingival bleeding, one of the major symptoms of periodontal diseases, is suggested to be associated with several systemic diseases [12].…”

Background: Epidemiologic studies provide broad-based evidence that males are at greater risk of severe periodontal diseases than females. Our recent findings further revealed that male gender was an independent risk factor for gingival bleeding in late adolescents in Japan. Gingival health status has been reported to be affected by oral hygiene behavior. However, gender difference in this regard has not yet been clarified. Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of mandatory medical questionnaires administered as part of a legally required freshman medical checkup between April 2017 and 2019 at the University of Tokyo. Results: Among a total of 9376 sets of responses, chosen subjects were 9098 students aged 17–19. For frequency of daily brushing, males brushed less frequently than females (p < 0.001): 1 time or less (male: 22.9%, female: 11.2%), twice (65.0%, 69.2%), 3 times or more (12.1%, 19.6%). For the duration of brushing each time, males brushed for a shorter period of time than females (p = 0.005): 1 min or less (male: 17.2%, female: 14.1%), 2–3 min (46.9%, 49.2%), 4 min or more (35.9%, 36.7%). (1) Male gender, (2) lower frequency of daily brushing and (3) shorter duration of brushing each time, were significantly associated with the presence of gingival bleeding (p < 0.001 for all). Multivariate regression analysis showed that: (1) male gender (odds ratio 1.29, 95% confidence interval 1.15–1.44); (2) frequency of daily brushing: 1 time or less (2.36, 2.02–2.76), twice (1.45, 1.27–1.67); and (3) brushing duration each time: 1 min or less (1.57, 1.39–1.78), 2–3 min (1.26, 1.14–1.39), were independent risk factors for gingival bleeding (p < 0.001 for all). Conclusions: Males showed poorer oral hygiene behavior than females in late adolescents in Japan. Male gender was an independent risk factor for gingival bleeding, as well as poor oral hygiene behavior.
