Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a major global public health problem and are frequently associated with chronic inflammatory conditions of the oral cavity, particularly periodontal disease. The potential bidirectional relationship between oral inflammatory processes and ischemic heart disease (IHD) highlights the importance of developing effective approaches for early diagnosis and integrated treatment. This study aims to assess the prevalence and clinical features of major dental diseases in patients with chronic IHD and to evaluate the effectiveness of a comprehensive therapeutic program. A total of 290 patients were examined using clinical, radiographic, laboratory, immunological and statistical methods. The findings demonstrated significantly higher rates of periodontal inflammation, altered salivary mineral composition and weakened local immunity among patients with IHD. Implementation of a complex treatment program, including carboxytherapy, improved oral health indicators and contributed to a more stable course of IHD. These results emphasize the need for multidisciplinary strategies to improve dental and cardiovascular outcomes in affected patients.
