Abstract:
Recent studies have indicated that periodontal diseases have close relationship with ischemic stroke.Periodontal diseases are not only closely associated with the risk factors for ischemic stroke,such as hypertension,diabetes,hyperlipidemia,and hyperhomocysteinemia,but also closely associated with the formation and development of atherosclerotic plaques.Furthermore,periodontal diseases also affect neurological deficits and cognitive impairment in patients with ischemic stroke.This article reviews the relationship between periodontal diseases and ischemic stroke as well as its possible mechanism.
