The present study suggests that NASH might be associated with periodontitis, irrespective of the intraoral presence of P.g. and A.a. Moreover, regular dental care utilization might mitigate the course of NASH, and patients should be reminded by their hepatologists of the importance of regular dental visits. Future studies should investigate the role of regular dental care and additional anti-inflammatory treatments of the oral cavity.
