Abstract:
A large number of epidemiological studies have indicated that periodontal disease and ischemic stroke have a certain correlation, which may be its independent risk factor, but the exact mechanism is not fully understood. This article reviews the epidemiological studies of periodontal disease and ischemic stroke as well as its possible mechanism of action.
