RESUMO

Oral infection models have emerged as useful tools to study the hypothesis that infection and inflammatory reaction is a independent cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor. Periodontal infections are a leading culprit, with studies reporting associations between periodontal disease and CVD, but this studies the periodontal diagnosis and coronary risk show substantial variations. This study aimed to analyze the different methods of periodontal diagnosis (Periodontal Screening and Recording - PSR and Clinical Attachment Loss - CAL) and correlation with Framingham and PROCAM coronary risk. The result shown strong and significant associations between periodontal diagnosis (r=0,812) and coronary risk (r=0,786/Framingham; r=0,823/PROCAM). Evidence continues to support an association among periodontal infections, atherosclerosis and vascular disease in different periodontal diagnosis and coronary risk stratification methods.
