Abstract

Periodontal diseases have long been recognized as a humankind health problem. Awareness of the destructive nature of periodontal diseases and the importance of an impervious control of bacterial plaque are the basic concepts of periodontal treatment. In the past decade, there has been a conceptual shift from periodontal diseases; as an oral problem to periodontitis having an impact on our systemic health. Recent evidence suggests a strong relationship between periodontal inflammatory disease and systemic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease. It is now generally accepted that inflammation plays an important role in atherosclerosis, and the factors that systemically amplify inflammation are under close investigation. In common with periodontal disease, the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis is not completely understood and both of the diseases are currently under intensive investigation. This article discuss about the correlation of evidence that is gathered from many scientific studies showing either strong, modest, weak or even no links along with their critical analyses.
