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

Condylographic recording of masticatory function: explorative study on occlusal parameters and chewing performance with natural food and a standard food model
TL;DR: It is important to understand that oral health and its functional status are to be maintained during one’s lifetime, and that preventive, therapeutic measures at all ages should have a common functional target to grant neurobiological health as well as nutritional goals of Mastication.
Association between Periodontitis and Heart Disease: A Literature Review
TL;DR: A literature review of Pub Med abstracts determined that periodontal disease is a risk factor for heart disease, though, it requires more considerable future studies to prove the causeand-effect relationship between periodontic disease and heart disease.
Association between oral health and acute coronary syndrome in elderly people.
TL;DR: Oral health of patients with ACS was worse than oral health of Patients without cardiovascular disease, and the difference was shown by greater severity of periodontal disease in Patients with ACS even though the level of oral hygiene was similar in both groups.

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.
