Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death almost in the whole world. Among these, the coronary atherosclerotic disease (CAD) is by far the most frequent cause of death. By through different studies, many researchers are trying show an association between periodontal disease and atherosclerosis. Therefore, it is necessary clarify what are the factors involved in this process. This study aimed to evaluate the oral health and periodontal status of patients undergoing catheterization examination. Subjects were divided into two groups: patients with atherosclerotic disease, comprising 67 individuals and patients without atherosclerotic disease consisted of 28 individuals. The results of catheterization examinations, biochemical and periodontal were related, trying find potential risk markers between periodontal disease and atherosclerosis. Can be verified statistically significant difference in the number of sites with presence of dental plaque (p <0.0001) and inflamed sites (p = 0.0003) between the group of patients with and without atherosclerotic disease, as well as the number of sites with bleeding (p <0.0001) and exudate (p <0.0001). Spearman correlation to the levels of urea in saliva versus serum levels in patients with coronary atherosclerosis was statistically significant (p = 0.0077). The data suggest a possible correlation between inflammatory periodontal disease and coronary atherosclerosis.
