The meta-analysis suggests that non-surgical periodontal treatment can significantly improve rheumatoid arthritis disease activity, particularly in terms of reducing disease activity score, joint counts, pain levels, and inflammatory markers.
Objectives The aim of the meta-analysis was to clarify the efficacy of non-surgical periodontal treatment (NSPT) in improving rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity. Methods A systematic literature search was conducted using the PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases up to October 2020. A total of nine studies were included for the comparison of RA-related indicator changes between the NSPT group and no treatment (NT) group. Mean differences (MD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated for disease activity score (DAS28), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), tender joint counts (TJC), swollen joint counts (SJC), visual analogical scale (VAS), morning stiffness (MS), rheumatoid factor (RF), C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), and interleukin-6 (IL-6). Results NSPT induced significant reductions of DAS28 (MD: 0.61, 95% CI: 0.37, 0.85, P < 0.001), TJC (MD: 0.65, 95% CI: 0.37, 0.93, P < 0.001), SJC (MD: 0.67, 95% CI: 0.18, 1.17, P = 0.008), VAS (MD: 0.48, 95% CI: 0.08, 0.88, P = 0.02), and CRP (MD: 0.34, 95% CI: 0.07, 0.64, P = 0.01) in RA patients with periodontitis. Other parameters showed a trend toward reduction, but results were not statistically significant. Conclusions This meta-analysis indicates that NSPT could improve RA activity as assessed by DAS28, TJC, SJC, VAS, and CRP.
