Re: Periodontitis Linked to Coronary Heart Disease

There was research conducted in Italy and released in 2009 finding a direct link between periodontal inflammation and CVD. While one might consider this a limite study of 35 individuals, the research showed that by eliminating periodontal inflammation narrowed carotid arteries became more open. Other issues of note was the decrease of CRP and associated factors once the periodontal inflammation was corrected. I have attached the study.

We at the Captek Company are particularly interested in this kind of information since Captek crowns have been proven to reduce the bacterial count of Captek restored teeth by no less than 71% compared to non restored teeth.
