The Silent Gap: An Exploratory Analysis of Severe Periodontal Breakdown in Rheumatoid Arthritis Despite Stable Gingival Crevicular Fluid Levels
RA patients had greater periodontal impairment despite similar GCF volumes. Strong associations were observed between periodontal severity, RA activity, PP, and anticholinergic burden, suggesting GCF involvement in periodontal disease progression in RA, highlighting underexplored clinical connections.
