beta-carotene and Periodontal-Diseases

Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory gum condition that is more prevalent in older populations. The development of periodontal disease has been directly linked to inflammatory dietary habits.. This systematic review aimed to 1) describe the relationship and 2) describe the direction of the relationship between dietary intake (nutrients and food groups) and periodontal disease in community-dwelling, older adults. PRISMA guidelines were followed for this review.. A systematic search of the databases MEDLINE, EMBASE, Global Health, CINAHL, Science Direct, Informit, and Cochrane Library was conducted from the earliest possible date until September 2018. Search terms were related to main themes: "periodontal disease," "gingivitis," "gum diseases," "dietary intake" and "older adults." The search produced 779 records, and after additional publications were obtained and duplicates were removed, 666 publications underwent title and abstract screening. Included papers were written in English and were based on populations of healthy, older adults living in community-based settings. Nine papers met inclusion criteria and were included in this review.. Sample size, participant characteristics, inclusion and exclusion criteria, periodontal measures, dietary measures, confounders, and results were sorted by study type, author, year, and country.. Quality of the extracted data was analyzed using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) system.. Inverse associations were found between fatty acids, vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, fiber, calcium, dairy, fruits, and vegetables and risk of periodontal disease. Overall, this review found a relationship between poor dietary intake and increased risk of periodontal disease; however, this needs to be further explored..

To investigate the longitudinal relationship between the intake of dietary antioxidants and periodontal disease in community-dwelling older Japanese.. A retrospective cohort study, with a follow-up of 2 years (2003-2005). Intakes of dietary antioxidants (vitamin C, vitamin E, α-carotene and β-carotene) were assessed with a validated FFQ. Participants were classified by tertile of antioxidant intake. Full-mouth periodontal status, measured as the clinical attachment level, was recorded at baseline and follow-up examinations. Periodontal disease progression was considered as loss of attachment of 3 mm or greater over the study period at the interproximal site for each tooth. Finally, the number of teeth with periodontal disease progression per person was calculated and was used as the outcome. Poisson regression analysis was conducted, with dietary antioxidants as the main exposure, to estimate their influence on the number of teeth with periodontal disease progression.. Niigata City (Japan).. Dentate individuals aged 75 years in 2003, for whom data were available, were included in the analyses (n 264).. A higher intake of dietary antioxidants was inversely associated with the number of teeth with periodontal disease progression, controlling for other variables. The multivariate-adjusted incidence rate ratios in the first, second and third tertiles were 1·00, 0·76 (95 % CI 0·60, 0·97) and 0·72 (95 % CI 0·56, 0·93) for vitamin C; 1·00, 0·79 (95 % CI 0·62, 0·99) and 0·55 (95 % CI 0·42, 0·72), for vitamin E; and 1·00, 1·02 (95 % CI 0·81, 1·29) and 0·73 (95 % CI 0·56, 0·95) for β-carotene.. The study results suggest that higher intake of antioxidants may mitigate periodontal disease in community-dwelling older Japanese.

A clinical survey was made on the life style and dietary behaviors of people with non-periodontal disease and people with periodontal disease for prevention and treatment of periodontal diseases.. 72-hour diet analysis and frequency analysis of dietary intake were performed in 60 patients with moderate-to-severe periodontal disease and 60 patients with healthy periodontal tissues randomly selected in the Ninth People's Hospital for dental treatment. The data was analyzed by Student's t test and Chi-square test with SPSS13.0 software package.. There was significant difference (P<0.05) in vitamin C, flavonoids and β-carotene dietary intake between control group and periodontal disease group; In periodontal disease group, dietary intake of selenium and zinc intake was different from the normal control, but the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05).. There is a close relationship between oral health and antioxidant nutrients. Lower dietary vitamin C content, flavonoid content and β-carotene intake lead to destruction of periodontal tissue and higher incidence of periodontal disease.
