Abstract
Introduction: In the last two decades, studies have shown that periodontal disease affects a wide range of human organs. These diseases affect body organs through various mechanisms. This study was performed in order to analyze the association between periodontal disease and coronary artery diseases among patients attending SH.M.KH hospital in Ilam during 2015.Materials and Method: In the present case-control study, the case group consisted of ninety patients with coronary artery disease and the control group consisted of ninety individuals without CAD who had referred to SH.M.KH hospital was examined. Periodontal examinations were performed for groups and their clinical parameters (PPD), BOP،Gingival color) were determined and recorded in each person separately in the Dental Clinic.Results: There were 93 male and 87 female participants in this study. 23 people from the case group and 14 people from the control group had abnormal gingiva color and this difference was not statistically significant (p=0.97). In terms of pocket probing depth, 29 people from the case group and 11 from the control group had a probing depth of over 5mm, a difference which was statistically significant (p=0.001). In the terms of the bleeding on probing (BOP) index, there was no statistically significant difference as 48 people from the case group and 42 people from the control group had BOP. The control groups were chosen from the patients who had referred to the heart clinic and their heart’s health was verified by a cardiologist. These patients were referred to a dental clinic for periodontal examinations in terms of gingiva color, pocket probing depths (PPD) and bleeding on probing (BOP).Conclusion: Based on the results of this study and the higher probe depth in the case group it can be concluded that periodontal disease can be considered a risk factor for ischemic heart disease.
