Periodontal disease and C‐reactive protein‐associated cardiovascular risk

Periodontal disease and C‐reactive protein‐associated cardiovascular risk Background:  Periodontitis has been associated with a moderate systemic inflammatory response. Successful periodontal therapy could decrease serum inflammatory parameters. The aim of this report was to explore the outcomes of periodontal therapy in terms of changes in C‐reactive protein (CRP)‐associated cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk as defined in a recent American Heart Association (AHA) consensus conference. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal of Periodontal Research Wiley

Abstract

Background:  Periodontitis has been associated with a moderate systemic inflammatory response. Successful periodontal therapy could decrease serum inflammatory parameters. The aim of this report was to explore the outcomes of periodontal therapy in terms of changes in C‐reactive protein (CRP)‐associated cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk as defined in a recent American Heart Association (AHA) consensus conference.
