Oral disease linked with cardiovascular disease

Abstract

As far as the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease the spotlight has customarily been on dyslipidaemia. understanding of the pathogenesis of CVD has increased, and infections, including those caused by oral bacteria, are more likely involved in CVD progression than previously thought. While many examinations have now shown a relationship between periodontal infection and cardiovascular disease, the components supporting this relationship stay hazy. This review gives a brief overview of oral diseases with host-bacterial interactions and various studies which suggest the relationship of oral disease and cardiovascular disease.
