Meurman et al. (2004) conducted a review in Cardiovascular disease and periodontal disease. Periodontal disease vs. Absence of periodontal disease was evaluated on Cardiovascular disease (CVD) (RR 1.20, 95% CI 1.08-1.32). Periodontal disease may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease by approximately 20% (RR 1.20; 95% CI 1.08-1.32), though the statistical effect size is small.
