Periodontally involved teeth with existing plaque were extracted and then processed to accelerate biofilm growth.
Thus, periodontally healthy patients with poor oral hygiene and poorly controlled diabetes may be at greater risk for the initiation and/or progression of periodontitis.
Methods: In randomly chosen patients with periodontitis (46 women and 47 men), and 41 age-matched periodontally healthy subjects (21 women and 20 men) that underwent dental examination in 1985, carotid ultrasonography was performed during reexamination 16 years later.
