Growing evidence suggests that chronic oral conditions, particularly periodontitis (PD) and tooth loss, may be associated with Alzheimer\u2019s disease (AD) and related dementias. This study synthesizes current observational evidence on the association between PD, tooth loss, and cognitive impairment (CI) among older adults.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, the Cochrane Library, Embase, Scopus, and Google Scholar for English-language studies published between 2010 and 2025. Cross-sectional and longitudinal cohort studies examining associations between PD, tooth loss, and CI were included.

Most studies focused on adults aged\u2009\u2265\u200950 years, particularly those aged 60 years and above. Periodontal status, tooth loss, and cognitive outcomes were assessed using heterogeneous diagnostic methods. Most studies reported significant associations between PD or tooth loss and CI, dementia, or AD. Periodontal treatment appeared protective in several studies, although some associations weakened after adjustment for confounders.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The findings support PD and tooth loss are consistently associated with adverse cognitive outcomes, although causal relationships cannot be established due to methodological heterogeneity and residual confounding.
