Original Article
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times new roman;"><strong>Background:</strong> This study was performed to evaluate periodontal status in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) and assessment of periodontal diseases prevalence in these patients.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times new roman;"><strong>Materials and Methods:</strong> In this cross-sectional study, data on 100 patients were collected with mean age of 51 ± 11 years. The case group included of 50 patients with confirmed CVD who referred to Ali-ibn Abi Talib hospital of Rafsanjan, Iran. Control group included 50 healthy volunteer subjects with no history of systemic diseases that referred to oral medicine diagnosis department of Rafsanjan Dental School. Plaque index, bleeding point index, clinical attachment loss, pocket depth and number of loosed teeth were assessed in this study.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times new roman;"><strong>Results:</strong> Plaque index, clinical attachment loss, pocket depth and number of lost teeth in the target group were more than the control group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in bleeding point index between the two groups.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: times new roman;"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> Patients who suffer from CVD had a higher risk for periodontal disease. So oral health instructions for this group of patients should be considered more.</span></p>
