Impact of Denture Use on Ischemic and Bleeding Outcomes of Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction.

ABSTRACT: Objective Oral diseases, including periodontitis and stomatitis, are highly prevalent worldwide and reportedly associated with the development of cardiovascular disease. Given the high rate of stomatitis in individuals wearing dentures, denture users may be at high risk of poor cardiovascular outcomes. We therefore investigated whether or not the use of dentures is associated with a poor clinical outcome in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI). Methods This two-center retrospective observational study was conducted between January 2012 and March 2020. A total of 1,046 patients with acute MI who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention were divided into two groups according to denture use status. The primary outcomes included ischemic events (cardiovascular death, recu
