ABSTRACT
The bidirectional relationship between oral health and systemic conditions, particularly cardiovascular disease (CVD), has gained increasing attention in recent years. Emerging evidence suggests that periodontal disease, a common oral health condition, is closely linked to the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases such as coronary artery disease, stroke, and hypertension. The mechanisms through which oral conditions influence cardiovascular health primarily involve inflammation, immune response, and oral microbiota dysbiosis. This review synthesizes the most current studies examining these mechanisms and explores novel therapeutic strategies emerging at the intersection of dentistry and cardiology. We also explore the potential for integrated care models that encompass both disciplines, emphasizing early intervention, disease prevention, and tailored treatment plans. Finally, we address the limitations of current research and suggest areas for further investigation to enhance the understanding and clinical management of these interconnected health conditions.
