Evaluation of Periodontal Status Among Coronary Heart Disease Patients - Hada Divya Singh

According to Periodontal Systemic Relationship, the mouth serves as the "gateway to the body," being the first visible indicator of overall health. A healthy mouth, including healthy gums and periodontium, reflects a healthy body, highlighting a two-way relationship. Changes in cardiac, renal, dermatological, endocrine systems, and pregnancy are often visible in the oral cavity. Improvement in periodontal health also enhances systemic health. In today's evidence-based world, multiple studies have supported these claims. This book emphasizes that non-surgical periodontal therapy, such as scaling and root planing, improves cardiovascular health. Risk markers for cardiovascular diseases, such as C-reactive proteins and lipid profiles, show significant improvement. Additionally, periodontal indices like bleeding on probing, clinical attachment level, and periodontal probing depths also improve with therapy.This work is based on postgraduate thesis research, summarized and compiled as a research article, and published in the prestigious Journal of Periodontology in 2015.
