Abstract

Background: Association between periodontal disease and dyslipidemia was recently reported in healthy adults. However, a systematic evaluation of concomitant periodontal diseases and lipid profile was not carried out in juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM). A cross-section study was performed in 25 JDM patients and 25 healthy controls, assessing demographic data, periodontal evaluation, fasting lipoproteins and anti-lipoprotein lipase antibodies. Disease parameters, laboratorial tests and treatment were also evaluated in JDM patients. Results: The mean current age was similar in patients and controls (11.5 +/- 3.75 vs. 112 +/- 2.58 years,p = 0.703). Regarding lipid profile, the median triglycerides {[}80(31-340) vs. 61(19-182)mg/dL,p= 0.011] and VLDLD 6(6-68) vs. 13(4-36)mg/dL,p= 0.020] were significantly higher in JDM patients versus controls. Gingival vasculopathy pattern was significantly higher in the former group (60% vs. 0%,p = 0.0001), as well as the median of gingival bleeding index (GBI) {[}24.1(4.2-69.4) vs. 11.1(0-66.6)%,p= 0.001] and probing pocket depth (PPD) {[}1.7(0.6-2.4) vs.1.4(0-2.12) mm,p = 0.006]. Comparison between JDM patients with and without dyslipidemia revealed that the median of dental plaque index (PI) {[}100(26.7-100) vs. 59(25-100)%,p = 0.022], PPD{[}1.9(0.6-2.4) vs. 1.4(1.2-1.8)mm,p= 0.024] and clinical attachment level (CAL) {[}1.31(0.7-1.7) vs. 0.8(0.6-1.7)mm,p = 0.005] were significantly higher in patients with dyslipidemia. Further analysis between JDM patients with and without gingivitis revealed that the median of current age {[}12.4 (8.3-18.4) vs. 9.2 (5.5-17.5) years, p = 0.034] and disease duration {[}7.09 +/- 3.07 vs. 3.95 +/- 2.1 years, p = 0.008] were significantly higher in the former group. Conclusion: Our study showed that gingival inflammation seems to be related to dyslipidemia in JDM patients, suggesting underlying mechanisms for both complications. (AU)
