Abstract

Periodontitis (PD) and chronic migraine (CM) have been recently linked, and inflammatory processes and vascular endothelial changes are hypothesized as potential mediators of this relationship. The aim of this cross-sectional analysis was to investigate the potential association of PD with vascular systemic inflammation and complement activation in patients with CM.
