Euro Dentistry Congress 2019: Possible link between periodontitis and cardiovascular disease: A clinical case - Carrasco Emilia - University of Concepcion

 Carrasco Emilia, Leiva C, Espejo J and Kozarov E

Periodontitis is a highly prevalent and complex disease, initiated by a dysbiotic biofilm but progressed largely by an exaggerated under-regulated host immune inflammatory response. Its primary features include the loss of periodontal tissue support of the tooth, manifested through clinical attachment loss and radio graphically assessed alveolar bone loss, presence of periodontal pocketing and gingival bleeding.    Periodontitis could increase the systemic inflammation in patients with CVD due to bacteremias with periodontal origin. A male patient, 47, was presented to the University San Sebastian at Concepción, Chile, School of Dental Clinic on June 01, 2016 for oral and periodontal examination. The patient's medical history included dyslipidemia (DLP), coronary heart disease (CHD), acute coronary syndrome (ACS), angina and history of myocardial revascularization surgery in 2013. Full-mouth probing depths showed overall pockets up to 8 mm.
