| Core Tip |
In this prospective cohort study, we aimed to assess the prevalence of periodontitis and the potential dissemination of classical periodontitis pathogens into ascites among 27 cirrhotic patients experiencing ascitic decompensation. We also compared this group with 100 unselected patients from a dental practice. Our findings revealed that decompensated cirrhotic patients often experience periodontitis. However, we did not observe any evidence of the translocation of Porphyromonas gingivalis or Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans into ascites. Furthermore, the presence of periodontitis did not appear to have a detrimental effect on the survival of cirrhotic patients. |
