While it has been suggested that periodontal disease may be associated with coronary heart disease, or CHD, there are no data to suggest that the elimination of chronic dental infections actually lowers the risk of developing chronic CHD. The goal of this study was to determine whether people with a definitive elimination of all potential dental infections—edentulous people, who are at the optimum endpoint of dental infection elimination from a CHD perspective—lower their CHD risk over time when compared with people who have a specific dental infection, periodontitis. |
