Article Synopsis
- Periodontal disease is linked to heart-related issues, but the exact reasons for this connection remain unclear.
- Elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, which indicate inflammation, are commonly found in individuals with periodontal disease and are also associated with cardiovascular disease risks.
- Treating periodontal infections can significantly reduce CRP levels, suggesting that understanding the relationship between inflammation and periodontal disease could improve treatment approaches for both oral and systemic health.
Periodontal diseases are multifactorial, and many etiological agents are suggested to play a role in their etiopathogenesis. Various risk factors are also suggested to influence the progression of periodontal disease. Until recently, specific bacteria were considered the major pathogens for the disease.

Several studies have documented the relationship between psychosocial stress and chronic forms of periodontal disease.
