ReviewJournal of Ayurveda and integrative medicine
Chronic periodontitis, dantamoolaroga, indicates chronic systemic inflammation and reduces longevity.
Review in Journal of Ayurveda and integrative medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
A narrative review of chronic periodontitis, a dysfunctional inflammatory disease of the gums finds it is linked to over 60 systemic diseases and has been shown to reduce lifespan. Termed dantamoolaroga in Ayurvedic medicine, the causative vitiated doshas for the 17 types of dantamoolaroga have been described and give leads as to systemic imbalances behind the diseases. By improving periodontal (gum) health, improvements in type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular and other chronic inflammatory markers have been shown. Systemic chronic inflammation is the underlying cause of non-communicable diseases, including periodontitis, cardiovascular diseases, respiratory, diabetes and metabolic diseases, cancer and others, now contributing over 70% of worldwide deaths. It is found that oral health reflects systemic health and provides a window into general health. As personalised medicine is being developed to assess the multiple pathophysiological factors underlying systemic chronic inflammation, it is noted that Ayurveda has a comprehensive approach to diagnosis with the 10 fold assessment (Dashavidha Praiksha) and eight fold examinations (Astasthana Pariksha) being considered the original personalised medicine. There are Ayurvedic clinical correlates and causes of systemic chronic inflammation assisting clinical evaluation and treatment planning. Ayurvedic diagnostic measures for general health and periodontal health need validation in today's terms to strengthen the scientific credentials and enable better clinical use of both systems in an integrative manner. Inclusion of clinical assessment of periodontal health status at consultation, particularly for any chronic disease, is strongly recommended to gain insight into a widespread systemic chronic inflammation marker. The multiple Ayurvedic clinical measures for chronic inflammation provides potential for lines of research that complement the current molecular based approaches.
