Abstract:

There is some evidence that periodontitis increases the risk of atherothrombosis. Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a cardiovascular disease with specific risk factors and physiopathological mechanisms that can lead to rupture in the absence of treatment. The aim of the present systematic review was to explore the influence of periodontitis on the progression of AAAs as a specific disease. A systematic search in PubMed/MEDLINE and Embase databases was performed. Human and animal studies exploring the influence of periodontal pathogens on the progression of AAA were considered for inclusion. After systematic screening, 5 articles were included in the review. Due to the heterogeneity of the selected studies, a meta-analysis could not be performed. The descriptive analyses of the studies emphasized that periodontal pathogens or their by-products contribute to systemic and local innate immunity likely to be associated with AAA physiopathology. Periodontitis seems to play a role in the development and progression of AAA. The present systematic review suggests that the presence of periodontal bacteria in the bloodstream or in situ in the vascular lesion is a risk associated with aneurysmal disease progression
