PERIODONTAL AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):

The relationship between periodontal and cardiovascular diseases is addressed in this article. Both these diseases have an inflammatory basis. Because periodontal disease is a risk factor for developing atherosclerotic vascular disease, diagnosis of the former is important. Particular attention must be paid to patients who have periodontal disease with other risk factors for atherosclerotic vascular disease. Recommendations managing these patients have been made included.
