Abstract：Periodontal disease is considered to be one of the independent risk factors of cardiovascular diseases.Mounting evidences have demonstrated that periodontal pathogens may transfer from oral environment into blood circulation and then colonize on vascular cells,where numerous inflammatory cytokines and chemokines will be released and conduct the interactions between vascular endothelial cell and monocyte.Consequently,inflammatory injuries and vessel damages will form,resulting in atherosclerosis,the common characteristic and progression of cardiovascular diseases.This article will review the present research on periodontal pathogens-induced atherosclerosis.
