Causal effects of gut microbiota on periodontitis risk: a meta-analysis of Mendelian randomization studies
This meta-analysis supports a causal contribution of specific gut taxa to PD risk. Risk-increasing Orders (Enterobacterales, Pasteurellales) and risk-modifying genera/species (Granulicatella, Prevotella salivae; Butyricicoccus, Ruminiclostridium 6) may inform hypothesis-driven prevention and mechanistic studies.
