Periodontal Disease & CHD
Tuesday, May 6th, 2008Hi everybody,
I recently came across a very interesting scientific paper in the April 1 issue of Circulation that defined a link between chronic periodontitis and edentulism and the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). The topic of this paper is not new, and a lot of people know about the link between perio and CHD; however the research behind this link has never really been consistent or definitive. This is what makes this paper so interesting; finally there is some definitive proof of the relationship between these two diseases.
If you would like more information about this topic you can follow the link below which will lead you to the article in Circulation.
Feel free to leave comments and we can have a discussion about the implication of this paper
Take care,
Tyler
