dc.description.abstract | Periodontitis is a serious infection or inflammation of the gums that involves
the destruction of soft tissues and bones supporting the teeth. The causes
of periodontitis are some species of gram-negative bacteria colonizing on : ·
dental plaque in the subgingival area. Research reports, the disease not only
has local effects. Other researchers report that people with the periodontal
infection have a higher risk for coronary heart disease (CHD) than those
who do not suffer. Research shows that periodontitis sufferers are 1.5-4 tin1es
more likely to develop cardiovascular disease. On the other hand, coronary
heart disease is the leading cause of death for non-infectious diseases. In
periodontal infections there is an increase in C-reactive protein and proinflainn1atory
activity, but HDL-cholesterol is lower than control. The
presence of such infections affects the endothelial cells, blood coagulation,
fat metabolisnl and Inonocytes or macrophages. Poor oral health will
increase the incidence of periodontitis infection. Periodontitis increases the
risk of coronary heart disease. | en_US |
