    Publication . Trindade, Diogo António Monteiro; Mendes, José João; Chambrone, Leandro
    Background: Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease, and its high prevalence contributes to the burden of chronic diseases, representing a public health problem. This systematic review aimed to estimate the pooled prevalence of periodontitis between 2011 and 2020. Material & Methods: Electronic search in PUBMED, Web of Science and LILACS focused on epidemiological studies reporting the prevalence of periodontitis conducted between 2011 and 2020 for inclusion. We grouped studies according to the periodontal case definition and conducted random effects metaanalyses with double arcsine transformation. We explored the effect of confounding variables to the overall estimates using subgroup and metaregression analyses. Results: A total of 83 papers regarding 81 studies were included. The results displayed a significant difference with confident case definitions (62.5%) reporting nearly twice the prevalence than nonconfident classifications (37.0%). Estimates using confident periodontal case definitions showed a pooled prevalence of periodontitis of 62.5%, comprising 18 different countries. Estimates reporting using Centers for Disease Control/American Academy of Periodontology (CDC/AAP) (2012) case definition presented the highest estimate (68.0%) and the CDC/AAP (2007) presented the lowest (49.1%). Age was a relevant confounding variable as older participants (≥65 years old) had the highest pooled estimate (79.4%). Conclusions: Between 2011 and 2020, periodontitis was estimated to be around 63%, and severe periodontitis to be at 24.2%.
