Relationship between Moderate-Severe Periodontitis and Ischemic Stroke

This paper aims to make a preliminary discussion on the relationship between periodontitis, serum inflammatory factors and ischemic stroke based on measurements of the first two diseases. A case-control study operates between patients with ischemic stroke (experimental group) and healthy cases (control group) in comparison to the incidence of periodontitis, serum hype-sensitivity C-reactive protein, interleukin and tumor necrosis factor. The results reveal that the experimental group presents higher than the control group in all these areas, and the differences in these regards are statistically significant. In the end, it is concluded that periodontitis and serum inflammatory factors are correlated to ischemic stroke. Hype-sensitivity C-reactive protein, interleukin and tumor necrosis factor may serve as the serological indicators for testing the periodontitis and ischemic stroke in clinical practices.
