Dental aspects of cardiometabolic health

Abstract

Cardiometabolic (CM) disorders are directly associated with adverse outcomes such as ischemic heart disease and stroke, which occupy the first two places in the structure of mortality worldwide according to World Health Organization data from December 2020. Recently, a lot of scientific data is emerging regarding the relationship between oral health and CM health. Mutual aggravation is observed – CM disorders, mainly hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, cardiovascular diseases with inadequate control of blood lipids and blood pressure contribute to poor oral health, and oral diseases, in its turn, such as periodontitis aggravate CM pathology by maintaining systemic inflammation.
