Periodontal conditions in patients with coronary heart disease: a case–control study

Abstract

Severe periodontal disease expressed by several clinical and radiographic parameters was more prevalent among subjects with CHD than among controls. Analysis, the factor periodontal disease experience groups 4+5 gave an odds ratio of 5.74 (2.07-15.90) for having CHD after controlling for smoking and age.

Association between periodontitis and acute myocardial infarction: a case–control study of a nondiabetic population

“…The present study found that patients with AMI had more periodontal problems (fewer teeth, deeper pockets, more plaque and higher BOP), which is in line with the results reported by Starkhammar Johansson et al . and Geerts et al . .…”

Periodontal conditions of elders in Northeastern Brazil

“…It is considered that oral infectious processes can be implied in the inflammatory process and have an influence on the precipitation of acute coronary events; additionally, both diseases have complicated pathogeneses and clinical manifestations due to immune-system triggered inflammation (14) . Concerning this, a research (15) has found an association between PD and Coronary Artery Disease.…”

“…Although no significant association was found between periodontal disease and diabetes in the current study, researchers (17,18) evidenced a bidirectional association between the two diseases, i.e., diabetes favors the appearance of the PDPeriodontal disease and this one, when it is not treated, worsens the metabolic control of the diabetes. Besides this, the PD has a higher prevalence and seriousness in diabetic people when compared to the non-diabetic individuals (15) .…”

Relationship between Periodontal Disease (Periodontitis) and Acute Vascular Events a Case-Control Study Enperiva Study

“…Microorganisms that cause this condition, interleukins, cross-reacting antibodies, etc. are involved [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]; something similar happens with the physiopathogenesis of atheromatous disease [10]. It is necessary to demonstrate how these two diseases interact in order to study the clinical impact and the prognosis.…”

“…However, the differences between the case group and the control group are not clear since they are not detailed in the results; the number of patients expressed in the aim section does not match that in the results, making it difficult to interpret the findings (31) . Something similar happened with two systematic reviews which included different designs such as cross-sectional and casecontrol studies [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. Our project, besides including matching risk factors mentioned in previous articles, incorporated vascular disease history in first degree relatives, sedentary lifestyle, number of teeth and BMI.…”
