THE INFLUENCE OF ORAL REHABILITATION ON MINIMIZING RISKS, ENHANCING PROGNOSIS AND THERAPEUTIC OUTCOME IN CARDIOVASCULAR PATIENTS

Abstract

Introduction. Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide with a high socioeconomic burden. Increasing evidence supports a convincing connection with increased cardiovascular risk of periodontal diseases (PD), a group of widespread, debilitating, and costly dysbiotic relapsing remitting inflammatory diseases of the tissues supporting the teeth. This scoping review aimed to gain an insight into the oral health status, behaviour, knowledge, and risk among cardiovascular patients, as well as to explore challenges and to make a recommendation concerning oral health and cardiovascular patients.
