Abstract

This review describes the evidence published from January 2013 through March 2016 for modifiable risk factors for chronic periodontitis and diabetes mellitus. Risk factors are factors that increase the chance of developing the disease. Modifiable risk factors for both these chronic, inflammation-related diseases include the following: hyperglycemia; microbial overgrowth, infection, and inflammation (virus, poor oral hygiene, gut microbiome); overweight and obesity; metabolic syndrome; hyperlipidemia; medication; unhealthy diet (added sugar; alcohol and other non-sugary carbohydrates, fat, and meat; nutrition, minerals (including zinc), and vitamins); current tobacco smoking (including environmental tobacco smoke); sedentary lifestyle; sleep disturbances; stress, depression, anxiety, poor coping skills, and allostatic load; low health literacy; and the environment and pollution.Given the similarity between the inflammatory mechanisms underlying chronic periodontitis and diabetes mellitus, one can wonder: Could these diseases both be somewhat different manifestations of inflammatory response-based overload? Could both periodontitis and diabetes even be regarded as autoimmune diseases that are manifested due to poor biologic and psychologic coping skills in response to the micro- and macro-level stressors that cause inflammation?Any successful intervention must include more measures than clinical medical/dental care can provide and hence might benefit from active participation of all parties, first and foremost the patient, in a patient-centered, interprofessional health care (not merely disease care) collaboration for the benefit of the mutual patient.But first, it is necessary to be aware of the risk factors that can be modified to pose less risk, a goal toward which this review hopefully will be helpful.

This paper is the first to describe the low-grade, chronic, systemic inflammatory state that adipose tissue causes and coins this meta-inflammation coined “metaflammation.” This observation is based on the recent realization that adipose tissue functions as an organ that expresses pro-inflammatory biomarkers such as CRP and cytokines like TNF-α and interleukins. The authors use easy-to-understand figures to illustrate the obesity related inflammatory mechanisms due to the surplus of nutrients leading to excess adipocytes and subsequent to a chronic state of unresolved inflammation.

Periodontol 2000. 2013;62(1):203–17. doi:10.1111/j.1600-0757.2012.00450.x. This paper is a brilliant explanation by two giants in the field of periodontology of the development and sustainability of the viscious cycle leading to increased inflammation with increased periodontal tissue breakdown in a viscious cycle that is initiated by the microbial dysbiosis in dental plaque, but mediated by the host response rather than depending on particular periodontal microbes. While giving a nod to the initial importance of subgingival microflora in dental plaque, the authors argue that usual members of the subgingival microbiome in health (commensal) can show overgrowth as opportunistic pathogens, given the right constellation of facilitating host factors, that is, the host’s inflammatory responses are more responsible for the end result of periodontal breakdown than the identity of the periodontal microbes in the biofilm.

Diabetes Care. 2012;35(10):2036–42. doi:10.2337/dc11-2453. This study is the first longitudinal, population based study to examine periodontitis progression over 5 years in men and women with T1D and T2D and revealed that it is the hyperglycemia (glucotoxicity) that is the offending factor in the influence of diabetes on periodontal tissue breakdown, as opposed to the etiology or type of diabetes per se. That means that only poorly controlled diabetes caused periodontitis progression, whereas periodontal health in persons with well-controlled diabetes of either type 1 or type 2 had periodontal health status equivalent to that of persons free of diabetes.

The importance of this systematic review is the revelation that there are no longitudinal studies that demonstrate whether periodontitis is linked to any particular frequency of tooth brushing. That is, only 12 cross-sectional and 2 case-control studies were identified that were designed to study the links between frequency of tooth brushing and periodontitis. Infrequent brushing was associated with severe periodontitis in the 14 studies. However, due to the study designs, the temporality could not be determined as it is unknown whether periodontitis or tooth brushing occurred first and thereby could cause the other.

Poorer metabolic control lead to elevated serum levels of triglycerides that in turn caused adverse effects on all clinical measures of periodontitis.

This is the first extensive review of the scientific literature to provide strong evidence for direct effects of hyperlipidemia on incident periodontitis and diabetes outside the inflammatory pathway. The authors propose a model to show that hyperlipidemia leads directly to increased expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha and IL-1β. Demonstrating that hyperlipidemia in itself increases the risk of periodontitis and diabetes can have far reaching consequences as hyperlipidemia might represent a new therapeutic target for prevention and management of both periodontitis and diabetes.

Am J Clin Nutr. 2014;100(4):1182–7. doi:10.3945/ajcn.114.089656. This report is the first to analyze data from a nationally representative population sample (NHANES) relating periodontitis and other inflammation-related chronic diseases to sugar intake. Importantly, frequent sugar consumption among these 18 to 25 year olds was associated with extent of periodontal disease (probing depth 3+mm and bleeding on probing) around 2 or more teeth, but not around one tooth only, which points to a systemic, not local, effect. The detrimental effects of sugar consumption on periodontal disease was independent of BMI and other traditional risk factors.

Pooling data from 3 large longitudinal S studies among almost 200,000 health professionals with 4 million person-years, this paper shows that consumption of potatoes that mainly consist of easily digestible carbohydrates pose a significant risk for incident T2D. Whereas substituting baked, boiled, or mashed potatoes with whole grains significantly reduces this risk by about 5%, replacing French fries specifically reduces the risk for developing T2D by up to 20%.

U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, Washington, DC. 2006. Available: http://nces.Ed.Gov/pubs2006/2006483.pdf. This paper reports on the health literacy of the US adults based on data from a federal, population based, national study. It is imperative that all health professionals are acutely aware of these findings that paint a stunning picture of near complete lack of health literacy with 9 of 10 scoring less than Proficient, a result that is largely incomprehensible for anyone with a post-secondary education level. Yet, proper patient communication is imperative for health professionals who must adjust their messages according to the patient’s comprehension level.
