Using the information theory, the authors study the relationships between the clinical manifestations of periodontal abnormalities and visceral diseases (diseases of the stomach, liver, kidneys, and the cardiovascular system). Their findings suggest the possibility of detecting visceral abnormalities from clinical signs of periodontal abnormalities.

A total of 737 subjects, divided into 3 age groups, were examined to qualitatively estimate the relationships between gastric diseases and some local factors, on the one hand, and periodontal tissue abnormalities, on the other; maxillary and mandibular periodontium conditions were assessed separately. A contribution of gastric diseases to periodontal condition was revealed, as were combined effects of these diseases and local factors.
