RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PERIODONTITIS WITH COMMORBID DISEASE TO THE SEVERITY OF COVID-19 INFECTION: A SCOPING REVIEW
Introduction: COVID-19 has different possible clinical symptoms, namely
asymptomatic and symptomatic. The SARS-CoV-2 infection becomes detrimental when
it occurs in someone who has comorbidities. Several comorbidities in COVID-19 are
also closely related to periodontitis. The author created this article to advance the
existing research on the relationship between periodontitis and comorbidities and the
severity of COVID-19 infection. Material and Methods: PRISMA-Scr is used as a
guideline. Searches are performed with keywords ("periodontitis" AND "COVID-19")
AND ("Comorbidity" or "systemic disease") in the PubMed/MEDLINE, DOAJ, and
Science Direct databases and manually using Google Scholar. Selected articles to be
discussed and analyzed in detail. Results: Twelve articles that met the criteria were
selected and analyzed. Specifically reviewed based on; the relationship between
periodontitis and COVID-19, the relationship between COVID-19 and comorbid
disease, and the relationship between comorbid disease and
periodontitis. Conclusions: The papers collected in this study support a correlation
between periodontitis and the severity of COVID-19 compared with systemic disease,
although so far, there are no experimental studies specifically designed to confirm this
association.
Keywords: Comorbid Disease, COVID-19, Periodontitis.
