-induced alveolar bone loss is accelerated in the Stroke-Prone Spontaneously Hypertensive Rat
Periodontal diseases are bacterially-induced inflammatory diseases of the supporting tissues of teeth and have also been recognized as a lifestyle-related disease. Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) is one of the prominent periodontal pathogens, and is the most important bacteria involved in the onset and exacerbation of periodontitis1. P. gingivalis, which is an anaerobic Gram-negative coccobacillus, has been shown to play a role in the progression of periodontal disease including bone and tissue destruction2.

A home‐based training programme improves family caregivers’ oral care practices with stroke survivors: a randomized controlled trial
ConclusionOur individualized home‐based oral care education can achieve significant improvements in oral care knowledge and self‐efficacy among family caregivers of stroke survivors, and it can sufficiently empower them to modify their oral care practices in a home‐based healthcare environment.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical, microbiological, and behavioural aspects of oral health among patients with stroke
Conclusions There is an increasing interest in oral health of patients with stroke. Patients with stroke had a poorer clinical oral health status across a range of parameters (tooth loss, dental caries experience, and periodontal status). Coupled with this, their dental attendance was less frequent. Further studies employing standardized assessments of oral health/oral health behaviour can confirm these oral health disparities. Clinical significance With comprehensive literature search, this systematic review and meta-analysis indicated a poorer oral health status and less frequent dental attendance behaviour among patients with stroke.

Unusual postero-inferior condylar movements that depend on the position of occlusal contact during fictive mastication in rabbits
During mastication of hard solid foods such as hard caramel, tooth-food-tooth contact is established on the working side, but tooth-tooth contact does not occur on the balancing side because the occlusal vertical dimension is increased by the food interposed between the upper and lower molars on the working side. Under such conditions, the mandible appears to be supported at three places during the masticatory power stroke (occlusal phase): the two joints and the portion along the working side teeth row.

Multiple tooth loss is associated with vascular cognitive impairment in subjects with acute ischemic stroke
ConclusionWithin the limitations of this study, the current findings provide the first evidence that multiple tooth loss is independently associated with VCI in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Cardiovascular Risks Associated with Incident and Prevalent Periodontal Disease.
CONCLUSION: New cases of periodontal disease, not just those that are pre-existing, place women at significantly elevated risks for future cardiovascular events. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. PMID: 25385537 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Lower your stroke risk—eat some chocolate!
“Take one chocolate bar a week for a healthy heart.” This advice isn’t being given out yet by our doctors, but researchers at Stockholm’s Karolinska Institute found that men who ate the most chocolate—about 2.2 ounces per week—had a 17% lower risk of stroke than men who ate little or no chocolate. Combining this research with four previous studies, including a nearly identical study on women, and reanalyzing the results showed that men and women who ate the most chocolate had a 19% lower risk of stroke compared to those who ate the least chocolate.

Linear scleroderma en coup de sabre including abnormal dental development
Conclusion This case demonstrated a patient with a left-sided skin defect (SCS) and a left-sided local malformation in her dentition. It is possible that there is a developmental connection between these two left-sided defects, both with an ectodermal origin.

Do salivary and serum collagenases have a role in an association between obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and periodontal disease? A preliminary case-control study
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a common and treatable disorder, which involves upper airway collapse during sleep and results in intermittent hypoxemia and sleep fragmentation. An estimated prevalence of 4% in middle-aged males and 2% in middle-aged females has been reported.1 There is increasing evidence to support that OSAS is an independent risk factor for cerebrovascular and cardiovascular disorders including congestive heart failure, hypertension, cardiac arrhythmias, myocardial infarction, cardiac arrhythmias, and stroke.

Oral care post stroke: a scoping review
The objective of this study was to conduct a scoping review and summarise the current state of knowledge pertaining to OHC post stroke. A literature search was conducted using the multiple databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, etc.). Combinations of multiple keywords were searched: oral, dental, health, care, hygiene, teeth, dentures, tooth brushing, stroke, cardiovascular health and cardiovascular disease. A grey literature search was also conducted. Articles included were those published in English between 1970 and July 2013, which focused on at least one aspect of OHC among a stroke population. For clinical trials, ≥50%...

Association between indices of clinically‐defined periodontitis and self‐reported history of systemic medical conditions
ConclusionsThe findings confirm the results from previous investigations in which a number of systemic medical conditions were significantly associated with probing pocket depth and/or CAL.

The effects of ADL on recovery of swallowing function in stroke patients after acute phase
This study aimed to examine the association between the degree of recovery from dysphagia and changes in functional independence measure (FIM) items in stroke patients after acute phase by conducting a historical cohort study, because none explains the effects of activities of daily living (ADL) on recovery of swallowing function. Study patients included hospitalised stroke patients after acute phase in whom dysphagia was confirmed (n = 72). Change in nutritional intake method score was examined for association with age, days from stroke onset to admission, length of hospital stay and change in FIM score. Moreover, to ex...

Use of floss/interdental brushes is associated with lower risk for new cardiovascular events among patients with coronary heart disease
ConclusionsThese findings suggest that flossing and brushing of interdental spaces might reduce the risk for new cardiovascular events among patients with CHD. The hypothesis that interdental cleaning per se reduces the risk of new cardiovascular events should be examined in an interventional study.

Association between periodontal disease and non-fatal ischemic stroke: a case-control study.
Conclusion. This case-control study demonstrates that periodontal disease, especially markers such as BOP and bone loss, is independently associated with ischemic stroke. PMID: 24720864 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Assessment of carotid calcifications on panoramic radiographs in relation to other used methods and relationship to periodontitis and stroke: a literature review.
Conclusions. There is a shortage of well-designed studies in older dentate individuals assessing the associations between periodontitis and radiographic evidence of CC and in relation to stroke or other cardiovascular diseases. Statement of Clinical Relevance. Carotid calcifications are prevalent in patients with periodontitis and such individuals may have an increased risk for stroke. The absence of signs of carotid calcification on panoramic radiographs is indicative of no calcification of carotid arteries. PMID: 24432815 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
