Abstract
Epidemiological studies have identified periodontitis as a contributing factor to cardiovascular risk. Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the tissues supporting the teeth. Although the nature of the association between periodontitis and cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains to be defined, the low-grade systemic inflammation and chronic bacteremia associated with periodontitis appear to be involved in the development of atherosclerosis and associated cardiovascular pathologies. Periodontal treatment has been shown to improve cardiovascular health parameters. A bidirectional preventive approach, involving the management of both periodontitis and cardiovascular risk factors, could lead to a reduction in morbidity and mortality related to cardiovascular disease.
