Abstract
Background and purpose: Systemic conditions, such as diabetes or cardiovascular disease are associated with periodontal disease. Recent studies suggested a link between periodontitis and gastrointestinal cancers. Due to the importance of this issue, this study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of chronic periodontitis in patients suffering from gastric, esophageal, and colorectal cancers attending Sari Imam Khomeini Hospital, 2017-2018.
Materials and methods: In this cross-sectional study, clinical examination of 100 patients was performed by assessing clinical attachment loss (CAL), bleeding on probing (BOP), and tooth loss. After recording the periodontal pockets' depth and gingival recession, the CAL was calculated. Chronic periodontitis was categorized as mild, moderate, and severe based on classification of periodontal disease. Chi-Square and ANOVA were applied for data analysis.
Results: According to findings in patients with gastric cancer (n= 23) mild, moderate and sever periodontitis were seen in 8.7%, 26.1%, and 26.1%, respectively. There were 10 patients with esophageal cancer of whom 40% were healthy, 40% had moderate periodontitis, and 20% had severe periodontitis. Among patients with colorectal cancer (n=67), 7.5% had mild periodontitis, 46.3% had moderate periodontitis, and 1.5% had severe periodontitis.
Conclusion: In patients with moderate to severe chronic periodontitis, due to the loss of periodontal support of the teeth that leads to loosening the teeth, the chances of tooth loss increase which naturally disrupts the patient's eating process and causes digestive problems.

Abstract
Background and purpose: Plaque-induced gingivitis is the most common form of gingivitis caused by the accumulation of bacterial plaques. Chlorhexidine mouthwash is one of the oldest and most effective treatments for this disease. Considering the adverse effects of chemical mouthwashes and turning to plant extracts, this study compared the anti-inflammatory effects of Lippia citrodora and chlorhexidine mouthwashes in patients with plaque-induced gingivitis.
Materials and methods: In this single-blind randomized clinical trial, 72 patients with plaque-induced generalized chronic gingivitis were randomly divided into three groups of 24 patients receiving Lippia citrodora, chlorhexidine, and placebo mouthwashes. Gingival (GI), plaque (PI), and bleeding on probing (BOP) indexes were measured for the Ramfjord teeth of each patient on days 0, 7, and 21 and inputted to SPSS software (Version 22). Comparisons before and after interventions in each group were performed by paired t-test or its non-parametric equivalent for GI and PI, as well as the McNemar test for BOP. An intergroup comparison was performed by independent t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) for GI and PI, and chi-square for BOP. Moreover, a comparison of treatment results between different measurements was carried out by repeated measures ANOVA for GI and PI, as well as the Cochran test for BOP.
Results: During all study periods, GI, PI, and POB significantly decreased in all three groups (P<0.001). The highest and lowest decreases of these indexes occurred in chlorhexidine and placebo groups, respectively (P<0.001).
Conclusion: Lippia citriodora mouthwash is not more effective than chlorhexidine; however, considering their slight difference, it can replace chlorhexidine in the treatment of gingivitis.
