Evaluation of Malondialdehyde in Periodontal and Cardiovascular Disease
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Malondialdehyde (MDA) plays a key role in endothelial function and may be a link for the known interaction of periodontitis and coronary heart disease (CHD). The investigators compared the impact of gingival health, periodontitis (CP), CHD or of both diseases (CP+CHD) on saliva and serum MDA levels.

Detailed Description
The aim of this study was to evaluate a possible association between both saliva and serum MDA levels in patients with CP and with CHD and if the serum MDA levels are mediated by serum CRP
