INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH TO ENHANCING DENTAL HEALTH IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASE: PREVENTIVE AND THERAPEUTIC STRATEGIES
Keywords:
To substantiate and evaluate a multidisciplinary preventive–therapeutic model aimed at improving dental and periodontal health in patients diagnosed with chronic ischemic heart disease.Abstract
Chronic ischemic heart disease (IHD) continues to occupy a central position among global non-communicable diseases and remains a leading cause of premature mortality. At the same time, dental and periodontal diseases persist as the most common chronic inflammatory conditions worldwide. Modern scientific concepts emphasize that oral inflammatory foci may influence systemic vascular health through continuous microbial dissemination, endotoxemia, immune activation, and oxidative stress. This interaction may accelerate endothelial dysfunction and provoke destabilization of coronary circulation. In this context, a comprehensive assessment of oral health in patients with IHD becomes not only a dental necessity but also an important component of systemic disease management. Establishing optimized diagnostic and preventive strategies for this category of patients is therefore a pressing scientific and clinical task.
