The Open Dentistry Journal 30 July 2020 SYSTEMATIC REVIEW DOI: 10.2174/1874210602014010362

Abstract

Objective:

The present study aimed at the evaluation of the association between H. pylori and periodontal diseases by systematic review and meta-analysis study.

Materials and Methods:

We searched databases, including PubMed, SID, Magiran, Google Scholar, and Iranmedex using the following keywords in English: H. pylori, tooth decay, oral infection, dental infection, gingival infection and periodontal diseases. Data was analyzed using a meta-analysis and random effect model. Heterogeneity of studies was assessed using the I2 index, and data was finally analyzed with STATA (Version 11.2).

Results:

Among 10 articles reviewed that included 56,334 samples, results showed that association between H. pylori and periodontal diseases was significant with OR (odds ratio) = 1.13 (95% CI: 1.04 to 1.24).

Conclusion:

The results reveal that H. pylori can be one of the main causes of periodontal diseases. Thus, a novel way should be employed for the complete management of H. pylori infections.

Keywords: Helicobacter pylori, Periodontal diseases, Meta-analysis, Systematic review, H. pylori, Odds ratio.
