Periodontitis and Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Periodontitis, although not a cause of mortality, is also a major public health concern because of its high prevalence in the population and its negative impact on oral health, ability to chew, appearance, quality of life, dental care costs and tooth loss. In addition, as a progressive, chronic inflammatory disease, untreated periodontitis has the potential to undermine overall health and even exacerbate other inflammatory conditions, such as ACVD.

متن کاملAssessment of the relationship between periodontal disease and cardiovascular disorders: a questionnaire-based study
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease, characterized by the loss of connective tissue and alveolar bone. There is an increasing evidence that periodontitis is associated with a number of chronic diseases. The aim of this study was to analyze the correlation between periodontitis and certain systemic diseases by identifying their risk factors in a population from North-Wes...
متن کاملPeriodontal Infections and Atherosclerosis: Mechanisms of Association
The bacteria associated with periodontal infection as well the by-products of host-bacterial interactions can have potential systemic effects. The field of periodontal medicine has emerged on the basis of the above and explores the interaction between periodontitis and various systemic conditions, such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes and pregnancy-related complications. Atherosclerosi...
