Triglycerides to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio and its association with periodontitis—a systematic review

The findings of this review suggest that the serum Ty/HDLc ratio is positively associated with periodontitis prevalence and could be a promising biomarker that is simple, practical, cost-effective, routinely measured, and easily calculable, and holds the potential to be an indirect risk marker for periodontitis. Future research should focus on establishing the temporal relationship and establishing a definitive, gender-specific cut-off for periodontal risk assessment.
