Abstract
The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to analyze the available evidence on the assessment of periodontal disease in patients with von Willebrand disease (VWD). An electronic search in three databases (PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus) was conducted by three independent reviewers to identify cross-sectional, cohort, and clinical trial studies. Studies considered eligible for this review were evaluated according to the quality and risk assessment tool proposed by the CLARITY Group at McMaster University. In order to analyze the possible correlation of VWD patients and periodontitis and their susceptibility to bleeding during the periodontal screening phase, periodontal parameters evaluated were probing pocket depth (PPD), bleeding on probing (BOP), gingival bleeding index (GBI), and periodontal inflamed surface area (PISA). After a screening of 562 articles, three articles were selected for the qualitative analysis. Within the limitation of our review, VWD patients are not more susceptible to periodontitis as compared with non-VWD patients. Nevertheless, bleeding on probing and gingival index needs to be carefully taken into consideration during periodontal screening of VWD due to the possible presence of false positives.
