A relationship between periodontal disease and cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been reported in several studies. This association was explained based on the chronic systemic inflammatory response which may lead to arterial stiffness in chronic periodontitis (CP). To compare arterial stiffness as carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) between patients with localized severe CP (LSCP) and generalized severe CP (GSCP). Five patients with LSCP and 12 patients with GSCP were recruited in a cross-sectional study. Subjects were excluded if they had systemic diseases other than CP. Diagnosis of LSCP and GSCP was made based on probing depth and radiographic bone loss. Carotid-femoral PWV was measured using the CompliorÂ® machine. Data were analyzed using SPSS. Carotid-femoral PWV was higher among patients with GSCP as compared to those with LSCP although the difference did not reach a significant level. Median (interquartile range) PWV was 7.5 (1.50) and 7.0 (1.03) m/sec respectively in patients with GSCP and LSCP (p = 0.224). Among patients with CP, aorta is stiffer in GSCP than in LSCP

Patient-reported outcomes about peri-implantitis are lacking among the Asian population, impacting decision-making in dental implant therapy. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of peri-implantitis among Malaysian adults, and its impact on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). Methods: Randomly selected 105 participants (adults aged 18 and above) having 265 implants were examined and diagnosed as with or without peri-implantitis (PI). Clinical examinations, including peri-implant probing depth, bleeding, and suppuration on probing with radiographic bone loss, were used to determine peri-implant status. OHRQoL of all participants were recorded using the short version of the Malaysian Oral Health Impact Profile [S-OHIP(M)] and reported as prevalence and severity of impact scores. Results: Prevalence of PI was 20.95% (95%CI 13.17-28.74) at the patient level and 11.7% (95%CI 7.83-15.57) at the implant level. Participants with PI had significantly greater percentages (p < 0.05) reporting impacts ‘fairly often’ or ‘very often’ in the dimensions ‘functional limitation’ and ‘handicap’ with their respective sub-items ‘difficulty chewing’ and ‘spending money.’ Both groups showed no significant difference in impact severity across items and domains. Although total S-OHIP(M) scores were higher in the PI group, the difference was not significant (p = 0.105). Conclusion: Peri-implantitis is relatively prevalent at 20%, but its impact on OHRQoL is minimal.
