Oral health in patients treated by positive airway pressure for obstructive sleep apnea: a population-based case–control study

Abstract

Oral health of OSA patients treated by CPAP/BiPAP is comparable to that of matched controls in terms of amount of plaque, gingival inflammation, and masticatory function.

Self‐report assessment of severe periodontitis: Periodontal screening score development

“…The validation of the FV2 questionnaire was performed against a periodontal diagnosis based on a full‐mouth periodontal examination. This was conducted in a prospective study conducted in a convenient sample of individuals seen at the Centre d'investigations préventives et cliniques of Paris (validation sample) (Adolph et al., ; Carra et al., , ; Darnaud, Thomas, Pannier, Danchin, & Bouchard, ). The IPC medical centre is subsidized by the French National Healthcare System ( Caisse Nationale d'Assurance Maladie ) and provides free medical and dental examinations to people living in Paris and surrounding areas.…”

Interaction of lifestyle, behaviour or systemic diseases with dental caries and periodontal diseases: consensus report of group 2 of the joint EFP/ORCA workshop on the boundaries between caries and periodontal diseases

“…There is a moderate certainty of evidence that individuals who are obese or overweight and those with the metabolic syndrome have a higher risk of both gingivitis and periodontitis (Nibali et al 2013, Range et al 2013, Keller et al 2015, Gaio et al 2016. Patients with obstructive sleep apnoea and other sleep disorders have an enhanced risk of periodontal diseases, however, the level of certainty is low (Keller et al 2013, Lee et al 2014, Sanders et al 2015, Carra et al 2016.…”

Periodontal Status in Morbidly Obese Patients With and Without Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome Risk: A Cross‐Sectional Study

“…The risk factors that increase gingivitis and periodontitis risk in patients with OSAS, regardless of obesity, are snoring, mouth opening for long periods of time, and tobacco use. Other studies showed that the association between snoring and periodontal diseases was strong when the patients with diabetes were excluded 10 , 48 . When excluding patients with diabetes, a recent study showed that snoring was significantly associated with periodontitis 48 .…”

“…The association between periodontal diseases and OSAS is still unclear. Recent studies attempted to establish this association in different populations 13 , 48 , 49 . The comparison among studies is imprecise because of the different methodologies adopted in each one.…”

“…Other studies showed that the association between snoring and periodontal diseases was strong when the patients with diabetes were excluded. 10,48 When excluding patients with diabetes, a recent study showed that snoring was significantly associated with periodontitis. 48 The sample did not include patients with diabetes, but the results showed no association (P = 0.33) between snoring and periodontitis (data not shown).…”
