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. Atherosclerosis constitutes the most important risk factor for serious cardiovascular incidents like myocardial infarction. The links between periodontitis and CVD might be explained by the possible contribution of periodontitis to the formation of atherosclerotic lesions. This review focuses on the mechanism of association between periodontal diseases (PD) and atherosclerosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
