AB - We investigated the relationship between periodontal treatment and pre-clinical Alzheimer's disease (AD).In this quasi-experimental design, 177 periodontally treated patients from the 'Greifswald Approach to Individualized Medicine' cohort, which used the same protocols as the population-based Study of Health in Pomerania TREND (SHIP-TREND), and 409 untreated subjects from SHIP-TREND were analyzed. Subjects were younger than 60 years at the magnetic resonance imaging examination, with a median observation period of 7.3 years. Imaging markers for brain atrophy in late-onset AD and brain aging were used as the outcomes.Robust to sensitivity analyses, periodontal treatment had a favorable effect on AD-related brain atrophy (-0.41; 95
