Periodontal Status Before Diagnosis in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis Predicts Cumulative Disease Activity in Years After Treatment Inititation
Background/Purpose: Transversal cohort studies demonstrated a possible association between periodontal disease (PD) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However it is unknown how this association evolves during…Abstract Number: 42 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Subclinical Oral Inflammation Is Common Across the Spectrum of Oral Findings in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients, Whereas Porphyromonas Gingivalis Antibodies Are Primarily a Marker for Clinical Periodontitis
Background/Purpose: Periodontitis and immune responses to periodontal pathogens such as Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) are associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) but the mechanisms underlying these connections…Abstract Number: 2061 • 2019 ACR/ARP Annual Meeting
Association of Periodontitis with Rheumatological Disorders: NHANES III Analysis
Background/Purpose: The association between periodontal diseases, smoking, and some systemic diseases such as diabetes mellitusis is well established. Periodontitis and rheumatological disorders share common immunological features and…Abstract Number: 79 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)-Associated Autoantibodies Are Present in the Periodontal Exudate of Patients with and without RA
Background/Purpose: Seropositivity for anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) and rheumatoid factor (RF) is a hallmark of RA and can be present years before clinical onset has…Abstract Number: 567 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Non-Surgical Periodontal Therapy Plus Short-Term Antibiotic Treatment May Improve Clinical Disease Activity: A Pilot Study in Difficult to Treat Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Autoimmunity against citrullinated peptides is a hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Chronic periodontitis (CP) is a known major source of citrullinated peptides. Here, we…Abstract Number: 2540 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Effect of Buccal Hygiene on the Systemic Activity of Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Background/Purpose: Good evidence suggests a relationship between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and periodontitis. We aimed to investigate if a good oral hygiene could improve activity of…Abstract Number: 2793 • 2018 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Molecular Mimicry and Autoimmunity: Anti-P. Gingivalis antibody Response in ACPA-Positive Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: The presence of anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) is a hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). ACPAs specifically recognize citrullinated epitopes, a result of a post-translational…Abstract Number: 492 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Is Leukotoxin_A Produced By Aggregatibacter Actynomycetemcomitans Important for Initiating Autoimmune Responses Underlying Rheumatoid Arthritis?
Background/Purpose: In a recent publication in Science Translational Medicine, Konig et al. (2016) describe a potential explanation for the link between periodontal infection and RA.…Abstract Number: 494 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Oral Microbiome Is Altered in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: The mouth is the second most abundantly colonized mucosal surface in the human body. Periodontitis, a polymicrobial infectious and inflammatory disease of tooth-supporting structures,…Abstract Number: 640 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Is There a Relationship between Spondyloarthritis and Periodontitis? a Case-Control Study
Background/Purpose: Knowledge of the existence of an epidemiological association between SpA and periodontitis may fuel pathophysiological thinking about SpA and if established, have clinical implications.…Abstract Number: 1331 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
A Pathogenic Role of Porphyomonas Gingivalis Fimbriae (FimA) in Periodontitis-Associated Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Periodontitis induced by oral pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) has been suggested to be associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Pg peptidyl arginine deiminase -mediated citrullination…Abstract Number: 1343 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Gingival Bleeding and Periodontitis in Japanese Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis: Results from the IORRA Cohort Study
Background/Purpose: Oral health is an important issue for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) because periodontitis is a potential risk factor for RA and RA patients…Abstract Number: 1383 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
IMPACT of Smoking in the Expression of Periodontitis and Anticitrullinated Protein Antibodies in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Environmental, genetic and epigenetic factors can induce citrullination of structural peptides by the enzyme PAD, which induce anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) preceding RA. Among…Abstract Number: 2913 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
the Periodontal Pathogen Aggregatibacter Actinomycetemcomitans Is Associated with Subclinical Coronary Atherosclerosis in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: The oral pathogen Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (Aa) generates citrullinated proteins targeted by autoantibodies in RA through its pore-forming toxin leukotoxin A (LtxA). Aa-derived LtxA is…Abstract Number: 2559 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Subgingival Microbiome Signatures in Patients with Established Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis
Background/Purpose: Periodontitis (PD) is an inflammatory disease of tissues supporting the teeth, caused by microorganisms that adhere to and grow along the tooth’s surface. …
