Perio-Cardio Workshop 2019

Participants in the Perio & Cardio Workshop will consider four areas:

• The epidemiological evidence of the links between periodontitis and cardiovascular diseases;
• The biological mechanisms of the increased risk of developing atherosclerosis lesions in patients with periodontitis;
• The effect of intervention trials on atherosclerosis risk parameters;
• The potential cardiovascular risks of oral interventions.

The workshop will be organised into two working groups:

• Working group 1, chaired by Mariano Sanz (EFP) and José Ramón Gonzålez Juanatey (WHF), will cover epidemiology and mechanisms;
• Working group 2, chaired by Søren Jepsen (EFP) and Francisco Fernández-Avilés (WHF), will evaluate treatment and complications.).
