Abstract |
: |
Periodontitis is a common chronic disease worldwide. It is a major cause of tooth
loss among adults and recently has been suggested to increase the risk for
developing several systemic diseases, including cardiovascular disease.
Populations are not equally affected by periodontal disease because there are
several environmental and host factors modulating susceptibility. Cardiovascular
disease shares many of the same susceptibility factors. The purpose of this
report is to identify risk factors and indicators common to periodontitis and
cardiovascular disease, and also to discuss their possible interrelationship in
this association. Recent findings to support a causal association between the 2
conditions are also presented |
