Metabolic syndrome is one of the actual problems of modern medicine because of its high prevalence in the general population and its essential role in the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases. In the last decade, studying the relationship between metabolic syndrome and periodontal diseases has attracted many scientists’ attention. Based on this, the study of the clinical features of periodontal diseases in the early stages of metabolic syndrome is relevant and necessary for timely and successful pathogenetic therapy. The purpose of our study was to investigate and analyze the prevalence and intensity of periodontal disease in people with metabolic syndrome. To solve this goal, we surveyed 190 people with metabolic syndrome who were registered at the endocrinological clinic in Chernivtsi. They formed the main observation group. The comparison observation group included 90 people without metabolic disorders. The age of the patients ranged from 25 to 55 years. Periodontal disease was detected in 155 of 190 patients with metabolic syndrome (81.58 ± 2.82%). In 90 patients without endocrinological pathology, the prevalence of periodontal disease was 1.2 times lower (65.56 ± 5.04%; p <0.01). Generalized periodontitis prevailed in the structure of periodontal diseases in patients with metabolic syndrome: 26.45±3.56% cases were in the second stage of generalized periodontitis (GP), and 21.94±3.33% in the third stage of GP, р<0.01. Therefore, the metabolic syndrome, as a state with a high risk of diabetes development, creates conditions for the formation and rapid progression of inflammatory-destructive periodontal lesions.

Introduction: The relationship between periodontal diseases and atherosclerosis is addressed in this article. Both these diseases have an inflammatory basis. Because periodontal disease is a risk factor for developing atherosclerotic vascular disease, diagnosis of the former is important. Particular attention must be paid to patients who have periodontal disease with other risk factors for atherosclerotic vascular disease. Recommendations managing these patients have been made included. The aim: The paper is aimed at familiarization of broad medical public with the presence of the relationship between diseases of periodontal tissues and atherosclerosis. Materials and methods: A thorough comprehensive analysis and generalization of scientific achievements elucidated in the fundamental and periodical publications, relating to diseases of the periodontal tissues and atherosclerosis, has been carried out. Review: The article consists of many researchers regarding the prevalence and intensity of periodontal tissue diseases in people of all ages. Problems associated with the state of periodontal tissues in people under study as dentists and general practitioners. Proven role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases of the periodontal tissues in people with atherosclerosis. In the modern concept of the etiology and pathogenesis of periodontal diseases in people is extremely important role for the immune system and resistance to periodontal bacterial invasion. Analyzed common changes important for pathogenesis of periodontal tissue diseases and atherosclerosis. Conclusions: Consequently, recent studies have shown a clear, directly proportional relationship between periodontal tissue diseases and atherosclerosis, but mechanisms for their development and interaction are not fully disclosed.
