Chronic periodontitis is the most common periodontitis observed in adults. Recently, its association with systemic diseases such as ischemic heart-brain disease and diabetes has been pointed out. Porphyromonas gingivalis, a major causative bacterium of chronic periodontitis, has properties of adhering to blood vessels and inducing inflammation, and those properties are involved in the induction of vascular inflammation and promotion of atherosclerosis. Therefore, analysis of the interaction of P. gingivalis with vascular endothelial cells will contribute to an understanding of the link between periodontitis and vascular lesions.
