Abstract: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a multidisciplinary oral health screening program on the prevention of complications in patients with cardiovascular disease. Conducted in a tertiary hospital over twelve months, the study included 200 patients who were assigned to an intervention group (receiving oral health screening and management) or a control group (receiving standard cardiovascular care). The multidisciplinary team consisted of dentists, nurses, pharmacists, and sonographers, contributing to different aspects of patient care. The results demonstrated significant improvements in both oral health and cardiovascular outcomes in the intervention group, including reduced systemic inflammatory markers and decreased incidence of cardiovascular events. Patient feedback indicated high satisfaction with the multidisciplinary approach, emphasizing the importance of integrating oral health into cardiovascular care. These findings suggest that a multidisciplinary model of care can enhance overall patient outcomes and reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications.
