Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the effects of non-surgical periodontal treatment on the hemogram, glycemic and lipid profiles in cardiopathic patients with an indication for surgical revascularization. Materials and Methods: Twenty-two patients with chronic periodontitis, over 35 years of age (mean age 59.45 years) randomly assigned into 2 groups were evaluated. Test group (n=11), received periodontal treatment before the surgical procedure, and control group (n=11), did not received periodontal treatment prior to surgery.
