ObjectiveTo systematically review the association between periodontal disease and the incidence risk of colorectal cancer (CRC).MethodsPubMed, EMbase, WanFang Data and CNKI databases were searched to collect cohort studies and case-control studies for the association between periodontal disease and the incidence risk of CRC from inception to February 28th, 2017. Two reviewers independently screened literature, extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies, then, meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software.ResultsA total of 5 prospective cohort studies were included. The results from adjusted data based meta-analysis showed that the periodontal disease was not associated with the incidence risk of CRC (RR=1.14, 95%CI 0.88 to 1.49, P=0.32).ConclusionsThe current evidence suggests that periodontal disease is not associated with the risk of CRC.
