MIRANDA-ANCHUNDIA, Andrea Katherine; VALBUENA-SALAZAR, Gabriela Alejandra e ZAMBRANO-SALAZAR, Denisse Francisca. Influence of periodontal disease on aterosclerosis. Rev. inf. cient. [online]. 2023, vol.102 Epub 19-Dez-2023. ISSN 1028-9933.
Introduction:
Periodontal disease has been identified as a risk factor for heart disease. The lack of oral hygiene habits associated with risk factors can lead to the development of periodontitis, which will lead to an increase in inflammatory mediators in the blood, which is a potential risk for the development of the atherosclerosis process.
Objective:
To evaluate in the literature the influence of periodontal disease on cardiovascular diseases, especially in relation to atherosclerosis.
Method:
It consisted of a search in books and scientific articles, with the use of associated keywords, as well as selected articles in the SciELO, PubMed, Scopus databases, from which around 40 bibliographies were obtained, which were narrowed down to 35, of them 50% updated.
Results:
Meta-analysis studies support a causal relationship between periodontal disease and heart disease, demonstrating that the risk of developing some vascular complications was found to be increased in patients with periodontal problems.
Final considerations:
It is relevant to evaluate the relationship between these diseases and the mechanisms involved, in order to develop preventive measures.
