A Danish Nationwide Longitudinal Study on Prevalence of Periodontitis and Its Co-morbidities (PlanPerioMed)

October 5, 2022 updated by: Christian Damgaard, University of Copenhagen

A Danish Nationwide Longitudinal Registered Based Study on Prevalence, Treatment Patterns and Disease Trajectories of Periodontitis and Co-morbidities 'PlanPerioMed'

The project (PlanPerioMed) is a register-based study evaluating the associations and patterns of health care delivery between periodontitis and medical diseases using data from the Danish dental record system Dentalsuite (Plandent A/S) and national Danish health care registries with three overall hypotheses/ aims:

  • Determine the extent to which periodontitis in registry data is associated with more odontological treatment services and treatment frequency.
  • Determine if patients with systemic diseases attend dentists more frequently and receive more treatment services per patient than the population without these diseases.
  • Determine to which extent periodontitis and received periodontal treatment affects the risk of medical diseases.

The study will focus on association and trajectories of periodontitis and its treatment with three medical diseases, namely, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (Type 2 DM), Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) and Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). The dataset consists of approximately 4,000,000 people aged between 18 and 99 years attending private practice in Denmark. The results from PlanPerioMed study are likely to have ramifications for treatment guidelines for other periodontitis comorbidities, e.g. CVD and DM, and will thereby improve the quality of life for a wide range of patients and reduce long-term societal health care expenses related to periodontitis and its comorbidities.
