3.1 | Periodontitis and severity of CHD
The severity of the CHD was determined based on the number of coronaries
affected and the CCS scores for angina pectoris. No significant
associations between the periodontal status according CDC and these
internal conditions could be determined (Table 1). If instead the
criteria of the CDC the new classification of periodontitis or the
values for PESA and PISA were used to assess the severity of
periodontitis, no significance could be achieved either (data not shown)
