The association of periodontal disease,diabetes and cardiovascular disease

Abstract

Background: Evidence for a link between periodontal disease and several systemic diseases is growing rapidly. Current evidence suggests that periodontitis is associated with an increased likelihood of coronary heart disease and diabetes

Scope: A consensus group reviewed published data on the contributory role of periodontal disease to overall health. Particular consideration was given to a role for periodontal disease in cardiovascular disease and in diabetes

Conclusions: Further research is needed to define the population-attributable risk of periodontal disease to cardiovascular diseases and to diabetes control and progression. Br J Diabetes Vasc Dis 2008; 8: 188—189.
