TL;DR: There has been a great overall improvement in oral health over this 30-year period, and there was no further improvement in 3- and 5-year-olds compared to 1993, but there was a reduction by half concerning occurrence of plaque and gingivitis in 2003.

TL;DR: In this article, the prevalence and distribution of gingivitis and periodontitis in a Swedish population over the 30 years 1973-2003 were investigated, and the results showed that the proportion of periodontally healthy individuals increased from 8% in 1973 to 44% in 2003, while proportion of individuals with moderate and severe periodontal disease experience decreased.

TL;DR: This study is an analysis of the findings in an epidemiologic investigation covering a random sample of 600 individuals aged 20-70 years resident in the city of Jönköping, Sweden and the role of specific etiologic agents in the development of destructive periodontal disease is discussed.

TL;DR: Diabetics, irrespective of the duration of the disease, had a higher prevalence of sites with gingivitis than non-diabetics and the increased number of subjects belonging to classification groups with severe periodontal disease experience among long-duration diabetics indicates more periodont alveolar disease in these diabetICS.

TL;DR: In the follow-up study, significantly higher prevalences of proteinuria and cardiovascular complications such as stroke, TIA, angina, myocardial infarct and intermittent claudication were found in the case group, indicating that a closer cooperation between the diabetologist and the dentist is necessary in monitoring the diabetic patient.
