Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally. Screening the population for risk factors for CVD is one mechanism used by various countries in the Region to identify and address the CVD burden. However, populationlevel screening for CVD risk factors has no effect on lowering CVD morbidity and mortality . POCT devices offer a potential alternative to traditional venous blood collection, as novel care pathways for early detection of CVDs. They are in concordance with laboratory testing the potential use of these devices in dental setting provides an opportunity for screening the individuals “at CVD risk”. Stronger evidences suggesting emerged risk of CVDs in periodontal patients, but it was still insufficient for periodontitis to be classified as a causal risk factor. The present study objectives are to establish evidence about the benefits of POCT devices in dental setting and to explore the lipid levels and atherogenic index of periodontal disease patients visiting our institution
