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

Scientific evidence for the relationship between periodontitis and cardiovascular disease
TL;DR: It will be required to carry out better controlled and larger studies to identify if these biological mechanisms are responsible for these increased risks and to provide a convincing support of a casual association and to determine if periodontal treatments could prevent CHD.

Challenges in ischaemic heart disease: not sleeping enough, not brushing your teeth, and skipping breakfast-three ways of increasing your risk of myocardial infarction?
TL;DR: There is a persistent need for further studies to clarify whether such associations with cardiovascular disease are direct and causal, and if they are all channelled through vascular inflammation.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors used Cox regression models to estimate the association between edentulism and all-cause mortality after covariate adjustment, and calculated propensity scores and assessed hazard ratios (HRs) in a trimmed, matched, and inverse probability weighted sample.

Correlation of psychological factors with periodontal and erectile dysfunction diseases in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients
TL;DR: There was no correlation between periodontal disease and erectile dysfunction in CHD patients and it is suggested that patients with both organic and psychogenic impotence, be evaluated for stress, anxiety and depression as well as periodonta disease with more compre-hensive questionnaires.

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 suggest that chronic C. pneumoniae infection may be a significant risk factor for the development of coronary heart disease.

Association of prior infection with Chlamydia pneumoniae and angiographically demonstrated coronary artery disease
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.
