Socioeconomic disparities were examined using the Sociodemographic Index (SDI) and Gini coefficient, while time-series analysis, regression models, and Joinpoint regression identified trends. Machine learning predicted future burden, and geospatial mapping visualized global distribution.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Periodontitis burden remains highest in low-SDI regions, with significantly greater prevalence, incidence, and DALY rates compared to higher-SDI countries (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001). Global trends showed a decline until 2010 (AAPC: ASPR \u22120.792%, ASIR \u22120.719%, DALY \u22120.794%; all <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05), followed by a temporary increase before stabilizing. Disparities widened over time, peaking around 2010.

Without strong public health policies integrating preventive oral health into diseases management, inequalities will persist, worsening systemic health outcomes. Urgent action is needed to ensure universal access to periodontal care and early interventions, especially in low-resource
