Dentist and oral health screening may be the latest weapon in identifying persons at risk of cardiovascular disease. Oral infections, specifically periodontitis, may confer independent risks for different systemic conditions. The risk factors associated with cardiovascular diseases also suggest that the relationship between periodontal disease and diabetes works in both ways. The aim of this study was to support and strengthen the association and relationship between oral hygiene status of individuals with cardiovascular diseases and its associated risk factors. A simple random sampling was carried out in 200 inhabitants of Western Utter Pradesh, India. An oral health visit and examination was made for an equal number of males and females of different age groups with cardiovascular diseases. Evaluation of the oral status was made by means of an oral hygiene index, community periodontal index of treatment needs and loss of attachment. Evaluation of oral status in patients with cardiovascular diseases and in the control group has shown a statistically significant low level of oral health in patients with cardiovascular diseases as compared to control. Prevalence of systemic diseases in different age groups significantly correlated with the prevalence of severe periodontal diseases. Treating gum disease may reduce the risk of heart disease and improve health outcomes for patients with periodontal disease and vascular heart problems.
牙医和口腔健康筛查可能是识别心血管疾病风险人群的最新武器。口腔感染，特别是牙周炎，可能会给不同的全身状况带来独立风险。与心血管疾病相关的风险因素也表明，牙周病与糖尿病之间的关系是双向的。本研究的目的是支持并强化患有心血管疾病个体的口腔卫生状况与其相关风险因素之间的关联和关系。在印度北方邦西部的200名居民中进行了简单随机抽样。对不同年龄组患有心血管疾病的同等数量的男性和女性进行了口腔健康检查。通过口腔卫生指数、社区牙周治疗需要指数和附着丧失来评估口腔状况。对心血管疾病患者和对照组的口腔状况评估显示，与对照组相比，心血管疾病患者的口腔健康水平在统计学上显著较低。不同年龄组全身疾病的患病率与严重牙周疾病的患病率显著相关。治疗牙龈疾病可能会降低心脏病风险，并改善牙周病和血管性心脏病患者的健康状况。
