Abstract
Periodontitis is a reservoir of peripheral inflammation that may lead to cognitive decline. A recent
meta-analysis reported that people with cognitive decline had fewer teeth, more carious teeth,
worse oral hygiene, poorer periodontal health and poor quality of life. Management of modifiable
factors, such as type 2 diabetes, smoking, obesity, hypertension, lower education level, depression
and sedentary behaviour, may prevent the onset or slow down the progression of cognitive decline.
Research has demonstrated that periodontitis is associated with these modifiable factors and social
determinants of health. Evidence suggests that treating periodontitis using Non-Surgical Periodontal
Therapy (NSPT) can reduce inflammatory biomarkers that may reduce cognitive decline, improve
quality of life and decrease the cost of care.
