AB  - <p>Introduction: Periodontitis (PD) is characterized as a destructive disease that affects the tissues that support the teeth, reaching gums, periodontal ligaments, cement and alveolar bone. Objectives: In the present study, 49 patients were examined to evaluate a possible association between severe chronic periodontitis on cutaneous microvascular reactivity in hypertensive patients. Secondarily, the relationship between body adiposity and periodontitis was also evaluated. Materials and Methods: The periodontal evaluation included measurements of plaque index and bleeding on probing, probing pocket depth and clinical attachment loss. Cutaneous microvascular reactivity was analyzed by means of the Laser Speckle Contrast Imaging (LSCI), while the body fatness was examined through Electric Bioimpedance (BIA). Results: The results showed no significant difference in cutaneous microvascular reactivity in patients with severe chronic periodontitis as compared with periodontally healthy patients. The were no significant differences between hypertensive and normotensive individuals. In relation to body adiposity, periodontitis did not influence the results, but hypertensive patients showed higher fat mass indexes as compared to non-hypertensive patients. Conclusion: In conclusion, severe chronic periodontitis did not influence cutaneous microvascular reactivity and hypertensive individuals had higher body adiposity.</p>
