RESUMO

In the field of periodontal medicine there is the hypothesis of a possible connection between periodontal diseases and heart diseases. Maybe the periodontal disease may work as a triggering factor in the development of periodontal of cardiovascular diseases. Twenty-eight patients of atherosclerosis and cronical periodontitis patients were subjected to surgical intervention for cardiac revascularization and coronary endarterectomy, have made part of the study, whose objective was to evaluate the presence of periodontopathogens of the red complex in the atheroma platelets: Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia and Treponema denticola. Genomic DNA was extracted from atheroma samples, and the presence of bacteria was stated through polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In the 28 samples of atheroma were detected: P. gingivalis at 50%, T. forsythia at 7.1% and T. denticola at 3.6% respectively. These results help to sponsor the hypothesis that the periodontal disease can be one of several factors involved in the development of cardiovascular disease, being this another reason for its early diagnosis, prevention and treatment.
