Gum Disease Linked to CVD (Cardiovascular Disease)
The PREMIERS study, which was conducted in patients with a recent stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) who also had gum disease, did not show a statistically significant difference between intensive periodontal treatment and standard treatment in the rate of recurrent stroke, myocardial infarction (MI) or death in the 1-year follow-up, although there was a strong trend toward benefit in the intensive group.
Both groups had a much lower event rate compared with a historical control group made up of similar patients.
In addition, the number of dental visits significantly correlated with a reduction in the composite event rate in the study.
“My take-home message from this study is that periodontal treatment does appear to impact cardiovascular outcomes in stroke/TIA patients,” lead author Souvik Sen, MD, MPH, professor of neurology at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine, told theheart.org | Medscape Cardiology.
“Even standard periodontal care — a dental clean every 3 months — was beneficial.”
