Periodontitis is a common chronic infectious disease, so as to be the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Numerous studies have confirmed the interrelationship between periodontitis and systemic diseases. However, evidence-based reviews reporting the interrelationship between them and treatment strategies for periodontitis with systemic diseases were still absent currently. Therefore, based on evidence-based medical researches in recent years, this article will summarize the interrelationship between periodontitis and systemic diseases, and briefly state the treatment strategies for periodontitis with systemic diseases.

Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of multiple causes with easy relapse. It is difficult to be cured completely and permanently. The effectiveness of acupuncture and moxibustion therapy is rapid and reliably in treatment of pain and gingival swelling complicated by periodontitis. Combination of acupuncture and moxibustion with scaling, gargle had better effects in eliminating gingival inflammation, relieving periodontal packet and teeth mobility, which need to be confirmed by more clinical control researches with standard periodontal parameters and criteria of therapeutic effects.

2018 international classification of periodontal and implant diseases relates the classifications with the approaches of prevention and treatment based on the stages and grades of disease. European Federation of Periodontology (EFP) evaluated the available evidences following the methodological guidance of the Association of Scientific Medical Societies in Germany and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE), and published the EFP S3 level clinical practice guideline for the treatment of stage Ⅰ-Ⅲ and Ⅳ periodontitis in 2020 and 2022, respectively. The present manuscript gives introduction and interpretation based on the EFP S3 level clinical practice guideline and Chinese national conditions. On the base of the diagnostic key points of staging and grading, it introduces in detail the step treatment procedures of stageⅠ-Ⅲ periodontitis as well as the multi-disciplinary treatment procedures of stage Ⅳ periodontitis, compares the similarities and differences between the step and phase procedures, and then proposes a strategy for determining the recall interval more suitable for Chinese clinicians. The present manuscript aims to help dentists to learn and grasp the key points more quickly and accurately on the clinical application of the guideline and to assist them in making the optimal treatment plans after judging and evaluating the specific clinical circumstances, so as to maximize the chances of favorable outcome.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the survival rate and peri-implant clinical parameters of Locking-Taper implants in patients having lost their teeth due to non-periodontitis (NP) reasons, chronic periodontitis (CP) and aggressive periodontitis (AgP). METHODS: In the study, 145 subjects were installed with 315 Bicon Locking-Taper implants and followed up for 1-5 years. The subjects and implants were classified into three groups, tooth loss by NP, CP and AgP. NP included 44 subjects with 100 implants, CP 70 subjects with 132 implants and AgP 31 subjects with 83 implants. Periodontal parameters before subgingival scaling and root planning (T0), at the end of active periodontal therapy (T1) and at the time of last recall (T2) were recorded. Right after the installation of final restoration and at the time of last recall (T2), peri-implant probing parameters were recorded. RESULTS: After active periodontal therapy, mean probing depth (PD) in CP and AgP were reduced from 4.05 mm, 5.20 mm at T0 to 3.07 mm, 2.96 mm at T1 (P<0.001, P<0.001), (PD≥6 mm)% were reduced from 33.2%, 58.5% at T0 to 14.4%, 10.5% at T1 (P<0.001, P<0.001). The periodontal parameters remained stable at T2 compared with T1 (P>0.05). Cumulative survival rates of implants in NP, CP and AgP were 100%, 97.6% and 100% for 1-5 years' follow-ups with no statistical significance found. At T2, mean implant PD was 2.78 mm, 2.96 mm and 2.97 mm in NP, CP and AgP, with NP significantly lower than the other two groups (P=0.006, P=0.01). The percentage of implant sites with PD≥6 mm was 3.7% in CP and 4.8% in AgP, both significantly higher than NP (P=0.003, P<0.001). 8.4% implant sites showed at least 2 mm deeper than those at prosthesis installation were found in CP group, significantly higher than NP (4.3%, P=0.003). CONCLUSION Periodontal conditions of patients having lost their teeth for chronic and aggressive periodontitis were significantly improved after active periodontal therapy and remained stable during 1-5 years. Short-term survival rates of Locking-Taper implants in patients treated for CP and AgP was no less than those who lost their teeth for non-periodontitis reasons. More sites with increasing peri-implant probing depth were found in CP and AgP patients, compared with NP.
