Periodontal Disease - A Risk of Cardiovascular Disease
Journal Title: International Journal of Medicine and Pharmaceutical Sciences (IJMPS) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
It is now clear from the many epidemiologic studies stating that a potential link exists between PD and CVD oral health care. Professionals can identify patients who are unaware of their risk of developing serious complications as a result of CVD and who are in need of CVD and those who need medical intervention. Accumulated evidence has strongly suggested that the long-term effects of periodontal diseases can be linked to more serious systemic conditions such as cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and diabetes. Especially a prevalence of coronary heart disease is found to be significantly increased in patients with periodontitis after adjusting the risk factors such as smoking, diabetes, and blood pressure. The purpose of this review is to provide basic information on periodontitis and cardiovascular diseases an association of these two conditions and current knowledge.
