Associação entre doença periodontal e aterosclerose subclĂnica: uma revisĂŁo sistemĂĄtica Association betwenn periodontal disease and subclinic atherosclerosis: a sistematic review
A associação entre doença periodontal e o desenvolvimento de aterosclerose tem sido pesquisada. Esta revisĂŁo sistemĂĄtica da literatura se propĂ”e a verificar a associação entre a doença periodontal e a aterosclerose subclĂnica. A pesquisa utilizou as bases de dados: PubMed, Scopus, LILACS, BBO, Biblioteca Cochrane e Scielo com os termos: "doença periodontal", "periodontite", "carĂłtida" e "aterosclerose". Foram excluĂdos artigos: que apresentaram resumos escritos em idiomas diferentes do portuguĂȘs, inglĂȘs e espanhol; com abordagem laboratorial em modelos experimentais; sem descrição ou referĂȘncia a estimadores de associação entre doença periodontal e aterosclerose subclĂnica; pesquisas que realizaram a medida da doença periodontal por parĂąmetros diferentes de exames clĂnicos; pesquisas que nĂŁo analisaram a espessura da Ăntima mĂ©dia da artĂ©ria carĂłtida atravĂ©s de exame de ultrassom; e que abordassem grupos especĂficos. Foram comparados os desenhos de estudo, protocolos de medida e os dados relatados. De um total de 63 referĂȘncias, apenas 10 artigos contemplavam todos os critĂ©rios de inclusĂŁo, distribuĂdos em: 1 estudo longitudinal, 6 transversais e 3 casos controles. Observou-se uma heterogeneidade entre os estudos em relação ao mĂ©todo de mensuração da doença periodontal e os desfechos da aterosclerose. Concluiu-se que infecçÔes periodontais sĂŁo fortemente associadas ao desenvolvimento da aterosclerose subclĂnica, entretanto os mecanismos envolvidos no processo patogĂȘnico ainda permanecem desconhecidos.<br>The association between periodontal disease and the development of atherosclerosis has been studied. The systematic review of literature aims to evaluate the association between periodontal disease and subclinical atherosclerosis. A literature search of the PubMed, Scopus, LILACS, BBO, Cochrane Library and Scielo bibliographic databases was conducted using the following descriptors: "periodontal disease", "periodontitis", "carotid", and "therosclerosis". Articles were excluded if they: presented abstracts written in languages other than Portuguese, English and Spanish; experimental studies; did not contain data testing the degree of association between periodontal disease and subclinical atherosclerosis; did measure the extent of periodontal disease by parameters other than the clinical examination; did not measure the carotid artery intima-media wall thickness by ultrasonography; and covered specific population groups. The studies design, measurement protocols and reported data were compared. A total of 63 papers identified only 10 studies that met the inclusion criteria: 1 longitudinal study, 6 cross-sectional, and 3 case control studies. There was a wide heterogeneity between the studies regarding the methods of measuring periodontal disease and atherosclerosis outcomes. The conclusion is that periodontal infections are strongly associated with the development of subclinical atherosclerosis, however the mechanisms involved on the pathogenic process remain unknown
