Rampant caries diseases are especially common among lower-income populations, such as the devastating pediatric disease Early Childhood Caries, which has reported rates of as high as ninety percent in some subpopulations. [web.archive.org]

All of the heart valve tissue specimens were excised during a valve replacement procedure, following diagnosis of aortic regurgitation, mitral regurgitation, or tricuspid regurgitation, while the atheromatous plaque specimens were collected during treatment [doi.org]

One of the crucial steps for the development of atheromatous plaque lesions is formation of foam cells, which are macrophages that accumulate from excess cholesterol, and P. gingivalis has been shown to enhance their formation ( 10 ). [doi.org]
