Résumé -Objectif : L'inflammation buccale pourrait constituer un facteur de risque des accidents vasculaires cérébraux d'origine ischémique (AVCI).Abstract -Oral inflammation and occurrence of non-fatal ischemic strokes. Objective: Oral inflammation has been described as a presumed risk factor of stroke with ischemic origin. The objective of this study was to investigate the link between oral inflammation, occurrence of non-fatal ischemic strokes without motor or cognitive sequelae (NIH < 1 and Rankin < 1) and pro-atherosclerotic biomarkers. Materials and methods: A retrospective observational study of 48 cases of ischemic stroke and 47 control patients was conducted at the University Hospital of Dijon. A clinical dental examination and dental panoramic were performed one month after the ischemic stroke. Biological data collected on the day of the ischemic stroke (C-reactive protein or CRP, triglycerides, HDL, LDL, glucose) were analyzed. The vascular risk factors were identified. We estimated the odds Med Buccale Chir Buccale 2013;19:211-220
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
