AIM: The aim of this systematic review (SR) was to evaluate the association between periodontitis and chronic kidney disease (CKD) and the effect of periodontal treatment (PT) on the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). METHODS: MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) databases were searched up to and including September 30, 2012 to observational (S1) and interventional (S2) studies on the association of periodontitis with CKD. Studies were considered eligible for inclusion if they reported the eGFR. Search was conducted by two independent reviewers. The methodological quality of the observational studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) adapted for this review, and the Cochrane's Collaboration risk of bias assessment tool. A random-effects odds-ratio meta-analysis was conducted to estimate the degree of association between periodontitis and CKD. RESULTS: Search strategy identified 2456 potentially eligible articles, of which four cross-sectional, one retrospective, and three interventional studies were included. Four S1, 80.0% reported some degree of association between periodontitis and CKD. Similarly, such an outcome was supported by pooled estimates (OR: 1.65, 95% Confidence Interval: 1.35, 2.01, p < 0.00001, χ(2) = 1.70, I(2 ) = 0%). All interventional studies found positive outcomes related to treatment. CONCLUSION: There is quite consistent evidence to support the positive association between periodontitis and CKD, as well as the positive effect of PT on eGFR.
