| Results | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| References | Quantitative results | Qualitative results | Nos. | Conclusion comment |
| Muhvić-Urek et al. (33) | / | Statistically significant differences in PI and GI between cases and controls. Statistically significant differences in CPI between cases and controls. The majority of cases were classified with CPI value 3 (36%), while the controls were classified in majority with CPI 2 (46%) |
4 | The periodontal outcomes among cases are poorer than among controls, with higher plaque and gingival index, and CPI values |
| de Oliveira Solis et al. (52) | CAL: cases-2.46 (0.98)/controls-2.19 (0.58) p = 0.055 PPD: cases-2.07 (0.42)/controls-2.01 (0.41) p = 0.623 BOP: cases-15.89 (13.11)/controls-14.47 (9.57) p = 0.937 |
Prevalence CAL (%subjects) ≥ 4: cases-85.71%/controls- 78.95% p = 0.450 Prevalence CAL (%subjects) ≥ 5: cases-57.14%/controls- 44.74% p = 0.290 Prevalence CAL (%subjects) ≥ 6: cases-37.14%/controls- 28.95% p = 0.456 Prevalence PPD (%subjects) ≥ 4: cases-65.71%/controls- 73.68% p = 0.458 Prevalence PPD (%subjects) ≥ 5: cases-34.29%/controls- 34.21% p = 0.995 Prevalence PPD (%subjects) ≥ 6: cases-17.14%/controls- 21.05% p = 0.672 |
4 | There are no differences related to periodontal clinical parameters between cases and controls |
| Hamid and Dashash (53) | / | Statistically significant differences in PI and GI between cases and controls. Severe PI occurred in 16.7% of cases and 0% of controls (p < 0.001) Severe GI occurred in 33.4% of cases and 6.7% of controls (p < 0.001) |
6 | PTSD children had a poorer gingival status than matched controls and they were affected by PTSD severity |
| Tagger-Green et al. (54) | / | All the patients had periodontitis. 70.4% had localized periodontitis, and 29.6% had generalized form. 66.2% of patients had severe disease; 25.4% had moderate disease; and 8.5% had mild disease. 70.4% had a plaque index > 0.8 | 3 | High rate of severe periodontitis among post-traumatic stress disorder patients, even if most patients had localized periodontitis. |
