“…A study where the proportion of periodontitis in different groups was based on scores of the digit symbol substitution test (DSST) [ 43 ] was excluded, and a study using the mean score of symbol digit substitution test (SDST) [ 44 ] in different groups based on periodontitis was also excluded. Finally, 8 case-control studies [ 27 , 32 , 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 ], 4 cross-sectional studies [ 24 , 25 , 51 , 52 ] and 8 descriptive studies [ 20 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 ] were included in this study.

“…As shown in Table 1 , there were five studies which assessed periodontal status according to the criteria of the WHO with the CPI [ 20 , 24 , 25 , 48 , 50 ]. Further, three studies examined periodontal status by uniting the CPI with other oral health indexes, such as the GI [ 47 , 56 ], PI [ 47 ] and the GBI [ 55 ].…”

“…The diagnosis of dementia in eight studies was based on medical records [ 45 , 47 , 50 , 52 , 53 , 55 , 56 , 57 ]. Three studies assessed cognitive impairment with the Mini-Mental State Examination-Korean version (MMSE-KC) [ 46 ], MoCA test [ 24 ] and Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) along with the MMSE [ 49 ], respectively. One study assessed dementia with the MMSE [ 20 ], and the assessment was unclear in this study performed by Zhu et al [ 59 ].…”

The association between periodontal disease and dementia/cognitive impairment continues to receive increasing attention. However, whether periodontal disease is a risk factor for dementia/cognitive impairment is still uncertain. This meta-analysis was conducted to comprehensively analyze the effect of periodontitis on dementia and cognitive impairment, and to assess the periodontal status of dementia patients at the same time. A literature search was undertaken on 19 October 2020 using PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase with different search terms. Two evaluators screened studies according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, and a third evaluator was involved if there were disagreements; this process was the same as that used for data extraction. Included studies were assessed with the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS), and results were analyzed using software Review Manager 5.2. Twenty observational studies were included. In the comparison between periodontitis and cognitive impairment, the odds ratio (OR) was 1.77 (95% confidence interval (CI), 1.31–2.38), which indicated that there was a strong relationship between periodontitis and cognitive impairment. There was no statistical significance in the effect of periodontitis on dementia (OR = 1.59; 95%CI, 0.92–2.76). The subgroup analysis revealed that moderate or severe periodontitis was significantly associated with dementia (OR = 2.13; 95%CI, 1.25–3.64). The mean difference (MD) of the community periodontal index (CPI) and clinical attachment level (CAL) was 0.25 (95%CI, 0.09–0.40) and 1.22 (95%CI, 0.61–1.83), respectively. In this meta-analysis, there was an association between periodontitis and cognitive impairment, and moderate or severe periodontitis was a risk factor for dementia. Additionally, the deterioration of periodontal status was observed among dementia patients.

Background and Aims: Cognitive disorders are characterized by major impairments in functions such as memory, judgment, language and attention. One of the tests used to assess these disorders is called the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Test, which is one of the most recent tests known in this field. DMFT index is the most important dental index for evaluation of decayed, missing and filled teeth. Since alteration or damage to the sensory function of teeth can cause changes in chewing function and different levels of cognitive disorders. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship of DMFT index with cognitive disorders in people aged 25-55 in Rafsanjan in 2019. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 350 patients chosen by simple random sampling within age range of 25-55 years, referred to Rafsanjan Dental School in 2019. Patients' demographic information was recorded and each was given a consent form and also Montreal Cognitive Assessment Test. Dental examination regarding decayed, missing and filled teeth was then carried out by a dentist and The DMFT index was recorded. Data were then analyzed by SPSS version 21; P value less than 0.05 was considered as significant level. Results: Data showed that the MOCA index had a negative significant relationship with DMFT ( P = 0.001) and age ( P = 0.001) and had a significant positive relationship with education ( P = 0.001), but it had no significant relationship with gender ( P = 0.853), time of last dental appointment ( P = 0.231) and place of residence ( P = 0.428). The effect of age ( P = 0.67) and gender ( P = 0.525) on the relationship of DMFT and MOCA was not significant. But the effect of education ( P = 0.001), place of residence ( P = 0.0003) and time of last dental appointment ( P = 0.002) on it was significant. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the relationship between DMFT index and cognitive disorders was significant and the higher the score of this index, the more severe cognitive disorders.

Background: Results of studies on the association between periodontal disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) or mild cognitive impairment (MCI) are inconsistent, and a previous meta-analysis published in 2017 included inadequate studies and is thus outmoded. This study aims to systematically evaluate the correlation between PD and the risk of AD or MCI. Methods: The following electronic databases were screened by two investigators independently, without restriction of language: CENTRAL (Cochrane library), PubMed (MEDLINE), EMBASE, China National Knowledge Interne, China Science and Technology Journal Database, Wanfang Data, www. ClinicalTrials.gov, and WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform. Meta-analysis was conducted using random-effects model or fixed-effects model according to the heterogeneity of included studies. Results: Thirteen eligible studies, of which eight reported AD (291 114 participants) and eight reported MCI (4805 participants), were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled results showed that compared with the non-PD population, the risk of AD and MCI in PD patients was significantly higher
