Compared with no periodontal disease, the relative risks (95% CI) for incident nonhemorrhagic stroke were 1.24 (95% CI: 0.74\u20132.08) for gingivitis, 2.11 (95% CI: 1.30\u20133.42) for periodontitis, and 1.41 (95% CI: 0.96\u20132.06) for edentulousness.<\/p>\n<p>For total CVA, the results were 1.02 (95% CI: 0.70\u20131.48) for gingivitis, 1.66 (95% CI: 1.15\u20132.39) for periodontitis, and 1.23 (95% CI: 0.91\u20131.66) for edentulousness Age, race, sex, years of schooling, family income level, smoking status, diabetes status, hypertension, alcohol use, serum total cholesterol levels and Signi\ufb01 cant Howell et al. 2001 2,653 physicians (physi- cians\u2019 health study I) 12.3 years of follow-up Self-reported periodontal disease Physicians who reported periodontal disease at baseline had slightly elevated, but statistically nonsigni\ufb01 cant, relative risks (RR) of nonfatal stroke (RR = 1.10; Age and treatment assignment Non-signi\ufb01 cant Joshipura et al.<\/p>\n<p>41 380 men 12 years of follow-up Tooth loss, Self-reported periodontal disease was assessed by validated questions A modest association was seen between baseline periodontal disease history and ischemic stroke (Hazard Ratio = 1.33; 95% Age, amount smoked, obesity, alcohol, exercise, family history of CVD, multivitamin use, vitamin E use, profession, baseline reported hypertension and hypercholesterolemia Signi\ufb01 cant PI plaque index; BOP bleeding on probing; PD probing depth; CAL clinical attachment level; GI Gingival Index; RR relative risk; CI con\ufb01 dence intervals 4.2 Interactions Between Periodontal and Cardiovascular Disease 1.46 (95% CI: 0.80\u20132.66; P = 0.222); however, this was not signi\ufb01 cant (Khader et al.<\/p>\n<p>2004). It is possible that periodontitis increases the risk of cerebrovascular disease through bacteria that induce production of pro-in\ufb02 ammatory cytokines, cause in\ufb02 am- matory cell proliferation into large arteries, stimulate hepatic synthesis of clotting factors, and thus contribute to atherogenesis and thromboembolic events.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Springer Heidelberg Dordrecht London New York Library of Congress Control Number: 2009940105 \u00a9 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2010 This work is subject to copyright.

Curiosity has its own reason for existing. Albert Einstein, 1879\u20131955 vii Foreword In his 1968 book, General Systems Theory: Foundations, Development, Applications, Ludwig von Bertalanffy observed that \u201c\u2026 science is split into innumerable disciplines continually generating new subdisciplines.<\/p>\n<p>In consequence, the physicist, the biolo- gist, the psychologist and the social scientist are, so to speak, encapsulated in their private universes, and it is dif\ufb01 cult to get word from one cocoon to the other\u2026.\u201d The same might have been true about subdisciplines within the \ufb01 elds of medicine and dentistry as well. But times are changing. The concept that oral diseases and disorders re\ufb02 ect and affect overall health has been gaining wide acceptance, especially over the past decade.<\/p>\n<p>As an illustration, a quick search of PubMed\u2019s electronic data- base of biomedical journals yields approximately 225 research and review articles published any time before 1980 that mention both periodontal diseases and cardio- vascular diseases; in just the last 10 years, that number has nearly quadrupled.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>This is a short excerpt from the opening of &ldquo;&rdquo; by Unknown, quoted for review and introduction purposes.
