AB  - OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship between periodontitis and the traditional 
      risk factors of coronary heart disease (CHD), as well as the role in the 
      mechanisms responsible for high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) in the 
      relationship of peridontitis and CHD. METHODS: A periodontal examination was 
      conducted on a total of 356 subjects, and community periodontal index of 
      treatment needs (CPITN) was obtained from each subject. Periodontal status was 
      categorized into TN < or =2, TN=3, TN=4 three groups according to the CPITN 
      indexes. Fasting venous blood samples were collected from all the three group 
      subjects, the serum hsCRP concentration and serological changes used in 
      diagnosing CHD routinely were determined, and software of SPSS 16.0 were used to 
      analyzed the relationship of periodontal, hsCRP concentration and routinely CHD 
      serological indexes. RESULTS: In the groups of TN < or =2, TN=3 and TN=4, the 
      hsCRP level was (1.10 +/- 1.16), (1.86 +/- 2.34), (2.25 +/- 2.75) mg x L(-1), 
      respectively. Compared with Group TN < or =2, the concentration of hsCRP in Group 
      TN=3 and TN=4 were higher (OR = 1.24, OR = 1.31, respectively). Compared with 
      group hsCRP < 3.0 mg x L(-1), more calculus and deep periodontal pockets were 
      found in the Group hsCRP > or = 3.0 mg x L(-1) (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: The serum 
      hsCRP level is correlated with the severity of periodontal disease.
