Burden and forecast of severe periodontitis in BRICS-Plus nations: trends from 1990 to 2040
Severe periodontitis exhibits divergent trends across BRICS-Plus, with Laos facing escalating burden while most nations show projected declines. Implementing targeted interventions-including tailored dental healthcare strengthening in high-prevalence regions and evidence-based preventive strategies targeting vulnerable middle-aged demographics-is essential for effectively addressing these divergent trends and reducing the overall disease burden.
