There is a known connection between periodontitis and atherosclerosis and the presence of periopathogens in blood vessels.

The aim of this study was to assess temporal changes in the frequency of periodontal bacteria in the subgingival plaque and in atherosclerotic blood vessels of patients with atherosclerosis.
