We thank Ms. Pickett for her interest in the “The American Journal of Cardiology and
Journal of Periodontology Editors' Consensus: Periodontitis and Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular
Disease”
1
and her thoughtful comments, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify and correct
some misunderstandings that likely were shared by other readers. The consensus report
was an attempt to translate what is currently known about the relation between these
2 diseases into practical application, while recognizing that recommendations are
based on judgments of potential risks and benefits given the current state of knowledge.- Friedewald V.E.

- PreviewThe recent consensus report regarding periodontitis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) published in The American Journal of Cardiology1 and in the Journal of Periodontology2 was enlightening. As a former educator in the oral health professions, I could not help but “put on my teacher's cap” as I read the text, applying the principles found in many texts regarding the interpretation of published scientific research.3 One of the first principles is to identify the source of authorship and affiliations.
