TLDR
Dental disease is associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease, particularly in young men, and may be a more general indicator of personal hygiene and possibly health care practices.Abstract:
OBJECTIVE--To investigate a reported association between dental disease and risk of coronary heart disease. SETTING--National sample of American adults who participated in a health examination survey in the early 1970s. DESIGN--Prospective cohort study in which participants underwent a standard dental examination at baseline and were followed up to 1987. Proportional hazards analysis was used to estimate relative risks adjusted for several covariates. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES--Incidence of mortality or admission to hospital because of coronary heart disease; total mortality. RESULTS--Among all 9760 subjects included in the analysis those with periodontitis had a 25% increased risk of coronary heart disease relative to those with minimal periodontal disease. Poor oral hygiene, determined by the extent of dental debris and calculus, was also associated with an increased incidence of coronary heart disease. In men younger than 50 years at baseline periodontal disease was a stronger risk factor for coronary heart disease; men with periodontitis had a relative risk of 1.72. Both periodontal disease and poor oral hygiene showed stronger associations with total mortality than with coronary heart disease. CONCLUSION--Dental disease is associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease, particularly in young men. Whether this is a causal association is unclear. Dental health may be a more general indicator of personal hygiene and possibly health care practices.read more

Association between periodontal diseases and changes in blood indice

TL;DR: It was showed that periodontal diseases due to its influence on hematopoises mechanisms and blood cell production, may cause increased WBC count, neutrophil and platelets, without alteration on RBC, HGB and other blood indices.

A survey on knowledge, attitude and practice among the doctors towards systemic health possibly influenced by periodontitis
TL;DR: A cross sectional survey done among 227 medical practitioners by distributing a self-prepared questionnaire about the possible influence of Periodontal disease on systemic health found that 79% of the doctors were aware of the association between periodontal health and systemic disease and the practice of referral to dentist was not proportionate.

TL;DR: The association between poor dental health and acute myocardial infarction was investigated in two separate case-control studies and remained valid after adjustment for age, social class, smoking, serum lipid concentrations, and the presence of diabetes.

TL;DR: The results generally support the previously reported association between C pneumoniae infection and coronary heart disease, and caution should be used in interpreting the basis for this association.

The relative importance of selected risk factors for various manifestations of cardiovascular disease among men and women from 35 to 64 years old: 30 years of follow-up in the Framingham Study
TL;DR: Differences were noted in the risk profiles for various manifestations of cardiovascular disease (CVD) that occurred before the age of 65 during the first 30 years of follow-up of the 5070 subjects of the original Framingham cohort, highlighting the need for future studies to distinguish better between those factors that precipitate cardiovascular events and those that relate to the pathogenesis of the underlying atherosclerosis.
