This study was done to assess the prevalence of periodontitis among CAD patients of the UP-PGH Department of Out-Patient Services. Using a descriptive cross-sectional study design, 25 subjects from ages 30-70 years old were selected from the Cardiovascular Section of the Internal Medicine Department of Department of Out-Patient Services. The patients' records were verified to a diagnosis of CAD, and they were interviewed and examined using the Periodontal Disease Index. The researchers found that all subjects exhibited at least one tooth with more than 1mm of clinical attachment loss and with inflammatory changes seen in the marginal gingiva: edema, erythema, bleeding upon probing, ulceration, and presence of deep pockets (>3mm). Therefore, 100% of CAD patients examined in the UP-PGH POPS have periodontitis. Periodontitis. Coronary heart disease. Sanchez, Krishan T. Santos, Jessica R. (Adviser).
