Abstract

Unlabelled: The association of periodontal disease and cardiovascular events is discussed. Low grade inflammation, with elevated CRP and elevated fibrinogen might contribute. A recent study from Scotland in which the dental brushing was evaluated found a relative risk for a cardiovascular event of 1.69 associated with rare tooth brushing. However, there was a bias with elderly patients, male gender and low socioeconomic status., Conclusion: The common risk factor is smoking; active "dentogenic" inflammation should be checked before surgery, particularly before surgery with implants.
