Background and Aim: This study reviewed the literature regarding the correlation of periodontal disease and outcome of in vitro fertilization (IVF). Materials and Methods: "IVF", "In Vitro Fertilization", and "Periodontitis" were searched in PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases to find English articles published up to August 2022. A free online resource developed by the Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health was used to search the grey literature. Duplicate screening and extraction of citations were also carried out. No search filter was applied during searching. Two independent reviewers evaluated the title and abstract of the retrieved articles. Next, the articles retrieved in the initial search were reviewed independently for relevant information to the research question. Results: The relationship between periodontitis and IVF has been studied in a limited number of studies. According to most articles, periodontal disease may affect IVF implantation and vice versa in women who want to conceive through this procedure. Low sperm motility and reduction in sperm count were also seen in males with periodontitis. Only one study found no correlation between the presence of periodontal disease and unwanted IVF results. |
