Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the link between the number of permanent natural teeth and the risk of ischemic stroke (IS) or transient ischemic attack (TIA) in a southern Brazilian population, involving 458 participants.
- - Participants included 229 individuals with IS or TIA (cases) and 229 without cardiovascular disease (controls), matched by age and sex, with assessments using advanced imaging techniques.
- - Results indicated that fewer natural teeth were associated with a higher risk of IS or TIA, along with factors like hypertension and smoking, suggesting oral health may play a significant role in cardiovascular events.
