OBJECTIVE: To determine the association between oral health status of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) and non-CHD population.

 METHOD: It was case-control study carried out among CHD (n=40) and non-CHD (n=40) population visiting Sheikh Zaid Hospital Lahore. The collected data through questionnaire was analyzed by using SPSS 16.0. Frequencies and percentages were calculated and data was presented in tables. Confidentiality of the information was also ensured.

 RESULTS: Among 40 CHD populations, 52.5% were upto 40 years old and among 40 non-CHD populations, 55.0% were upto 40 years old. Likewise among CHD populations, 60.0% and among non-CHD populations, 65.0% were literate. The mean bleeding on probing (BOP), periodontal pocket depth (PPD) and tooth loss of CHD populations  were 54.67+19.238, 2.31+0.937 and 3.85+3.537, respectively while BOP, PPD and tooth loss of non-CHD populations were 42.93+23.01, 1.85+0.958 and 2.52+3.357, respectively.
