Risk for the development of atherosclerosis in women with a high level of dental plaque and severe gingival inflammation

Abstract: The present results indicate that a high amount of dental plaque, severe gingival inflammation as well as periodontitis seem to be associated with the development of atherosclerotic lesions in women already at its early and subclinical stages.

“…A retrospective case study by Beckstrom et al 238 found a significant direct correlation between periodontal bone loss and carotid artery calcifications on panoramic radiographs. Söder et al 239 concluded in a case-control study that cIMT and intima-media area were significantly higher in women with PD than in control subjects. An earlier prospective case-control study by Söder et al 240 also found significantly higher mean values of cIMT and carotid intima-media area in patients with PD compared with control subjects.…”

“…Similarly, in a study by Söder et al, a higher IMT was characteristic of patients with an elevated bleeding index. In that study the authors observed a significantly higher IMT value in patients with gingivitis and periodontitis compared with patients without inflammation within the periodontal tissues [25]. Emingil et al also demonstrated a correlation between periodontal tissue inflammation and advanced atherosclerotic lesions of the cardiovascular system leading to acute myocardial infarction (AMI); they found a relationship between the bleeding index and a periodontal pocket depth ≥ 4 mm on the one hand and the occurrence of acute myocardial infarction on the other hand [26].…”

“…After careful selection, our review included ten studies: one longitudinal 27 , six cross-sectional 24,[74][75][76][77][78] and three casecontrol studies 73,79,80 , as shown in Table 1. Most studies were carried out in industrialized and developed countries such as the United States (USA) Sweden and other European countries.…”
