Background:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the
relationship between Periodontitis (PD), dental scaling (DS), and
pyogenic liver abscesses (PLAs).
Methods:
A nationwide population-based case–control study
was applied using data from the National Health Insurance
Research Database in Taiwan. We identified and enrolled 691
PLA patients, who were individually matched by age and sex to
2,764 controls.
Results:
Conditional logistic regression was applied to estimate
adjusted odds ratios (aORs) in patients with exposure to PD and
DS before PLA. After adjusting for other confounding factors, PD
remained a risk factor for PLAamong patients aged 20–40 years,
with an aOR of 2.31 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.37–3.90, p
= 0.0018). In addition, the average aOR for PLA was significantly
lower among patients with one DS (aOR = 0.76, 95% CI = 0.59–
0.96) and more than one DS (aOR = 0.61, 95% CI = 0.39–0.95)
within 1 year before the index date.
Conclusion:
According to these results, PD is a potential
risk factor for subsequent PLA, and DS is associated with a
decreased risk of PLA. Moreover, DS treatment at least once
within 1 year could diminish the risk of PLA. Therefore, dental
physicians should encourage DS as a regular part of oral hygiene
for the reduction of PLA occurrence
