Abstract
Chronic periodontitis has been associated with many systemic diseases and many times chronic systemic diseases result in periodontal manifestations. An association between cardiovascular disease and periodontitis has been observed based on the current literature. The present case shows a rare finding of chronic periodontitis in a male patient as a result of an inflammatory disease of the blood vessel called Takayasu arteritis, which itself is a rare finding in a 31-year-old male patient. This case report attempts to highlight the role of diagnosis and understanding the etiology behind periodontal disease as a result of a rare systemic inflammatory disease, such as Takayasu arteritis.
