A free online resource developed by the Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health<br> was used to search the grey literature. Duplicate screening and extraction of citations were also carried out. No search filter was applied during<br> searching. Two independent reviewers evaluated the title and abstract of the retrieved articles. Next, the articles retrieved in the initial search<br> were reviewed independently for relevant information to the research question.</span></span></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:13pt"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""><b><span style="font-size:9.0pt"><span style="font-family:" verdana=""><span style="color:#2e74b5">Results: </span></span></span></b><span style="font-size:9.0pt"><span style="font-family:" verdana="">The relationship between periodontitis and IVF has been studied in a limited number of studies. According to most articles, periodontal<br> disease may affect IVF implantation and vice versa in women who want to conceive through this procedure. Low sperm motility and reduction in<br> sperm count were also seen in males with periodontitis. Only one study found no correlation between the presence of periodontal disease and<br> unwanted IVF results.</span></span></span></span></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size:9.0pt"><span style="font-family:" verdana=""><span style="color:#2e74b5">&nbsp;&nbsp; Conclusion:</span></span></span></b> <span style="font-size:9.0pt"><span style="font-family:" verdana="">According to the results, periodontitis can impair the reproductive function since it causes systemic bacteremia.
