Metabolic Profiling of Individuals with Missing Teeth and Tooth Loss.

Missing teeth have been linked to incident cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and all-cause mortality. Our previous study revealed that signs of oral infections and inflammatory conditions (i.e.

Does Periodontitis Increase the Risk for Future Cardiovascular Events? Long-Term Follow-Up of the PAROKRANK Study.

Background And Aim: The study 'Periodontitis and Its Relation to Coronary Artery Disease' (PAROKRANK) reported an association between periodontitis (PD) and the first myocardial infarction (MI). This follow-up study aims to test the hypothesis that those with PD-compared to periodontally healthy individuals-are at increased risk for cardiovascular (CV) events and death.

Methods: A total of 1587 participants (age <75 years; females 19%) had a dental examination including panoramic radiographs between 2010 and 2014.

Endodontic Inflammatory Disease and Future Cardiovascular Events and Mortality: A Report from the PAROKRANK Study.

Introduction: Prospective studies assessing the relation between endodontic inflammatory disease and subsequent cardiovascular events are few. The present aim was to explore associations between endodontic variables and future cardiovascular events in patients with myocardial infarction and matched controls participating in the PAROKRANK (Periodontitis and Its Relation to Coronary Artery Disease) study.

Methods: Eight-hundred five patients hospitalized for a first myocardial infarction and 805 controls were recruited between 2010 and 2014.

[Oral diseases and dementia].

The aging population makes the increase in cognitive disorders a challenge. One of the risk factors is old age, but also oral diseases, especially periodontitis, have been linked to an increased risk of dementia, especially Alzheimer's disease (AD), although research studies show varying correlations. Dental care utilization also decreases after a dementia diagnosis.

Primary apical periodontitis correlates to elevated levels of interleukin-8 in a Swedish population: A report from the PAROKRANK study.

Aim: To explore associations between root filled teeth, primary and secondary apical periodontitis, and levels of inflammatory markers in blood from patients with a first myocardial infarction and matched controls.

Methodology: Between May 2010 and February 2014, 805 patients with a first myocardial infarction and 805 controls, matched for sex, age, and postal code area, were recruited to the multicentre case-control study PAROKRANK (periodontitis and its relation to coronary artery disease). All participants underwent a physical and oral examination, as well as blood sampling.
