    IntroductionWe aimed to determine whether periodontal health deteriorates after bariatric surgery (BS).MethodsA search was performed in Medline and Embase, for prospective cohort studies with data on change in periodontal parameters after BS. Meta-analysis was performed with available data.ResultsThe results of 4 included studies consistently show significant (p < 0.05) worsening of bleeding on probing (4.21% (95% CI: 0.32, 8.11)), clinical attachment loss (0.16 mm (95% CI: 0.05, 0.27)), periodontal pocket depth (PPD) (0.14 mm (95% CI: 0.06, 0.23)) and percentage of PPD 4-5 mm: 1.72% (95% CI: 0.11, 3.34) 6 months after BS, but no change after 12 months.ConclusionsBS may have a transient negative effect on periodontal health.Copyright: © 2021 Termedia & Banach.
