Scientists from Brazil and Australia was a study recently completed, evaluated the association between metabolic syndrome and loss of teeth.It was found that in patients with the metabolic syndrome, is much larger (in comparison with healthy people) extracted teeth and teeth that have lost functionality.
As part of the research process were analyzed dozens of scientific papers, in one way or another affects the relationship of tooth loss and metabolic syndrome. And they all had the most extensive tooth loss, and loss of function of teeth in patients with metabolic syndrome.
It is known that the metabolic syndrome - or else, as a combination of several pathological deviations. This increased AD, and high blood glucose levels, and weight gain. This syndrome increases patients risk of developing type II diabetes, as well as a number of diseases of the cardiovascular system. Considered proven link with the development of metabolic syndrome, periodontitis. However, to understand exactly how the syndrome affects the loss of teeth is not yet possible.
The researchers discussed the study were examined research that examined this correlation in patients aged 18 and older. Of the total weight of the 12 were selected scientific publications corresponding to the stated criteria, 9 of which were the basis of meta-analysis.
Most previous studies have confirmed the relationship between tooth loss and metabolic syndrome. But in 2 jobs, this feature was revealed exclusively in female patients. It was also proved increase the risk of loss of tooth functionality in these patients (2 times higher than the rest).
The results obtained indicate that in patients suffering from metabolic syndrome, extracted teeth and teeth that have lost their functionality, much more than those who have given syndrome is not.
So doctors observing such patients should be given maximum attention at this point. After all, the functionality of the tooth loss involves problems with chewing, and thus the correction of the diet in a negative direction. Patients with metabolic syndrome stop eating hard fruits and vegetables, they have increased the level of bad cholesterol, there are other problems.
Methodological accuracy of the data analyzed by the authors of the study were evaluated as very good, but the (objectively) the evidence base for this kind of analysis is still rather weak. Yes, and used in the course of research methods are very different - for example, using different diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome.
As a result, the scientists agreed that the results of the research should not be used for different groups. It should take into account the age factor, as well as other criteria. That is why the likelihood of tooth loss due to the development of metabolic syndrome varies.
It is obvious that this issue should be at the center of contemporary research in the field of medicine as metabolic syndrome and loss of teeth are very common diseases and complications that affect the health and quality of life of the modern person.
To determine the cause of this correlation should be performed in addition fairly lengthy clinical trials. According to the results of this work will be to determine the strategy for the prevention of tooth loss in patients with metabolic syndrome.
