LET’S TALK ORAL HEALTH: THE ORAL-SYSTEMIC LINK
Exploring the oral systemic link to prevent periodontal and peri-implant diseases
Join us as we dive into the critical connection between oral health and systemic diseases, a vital area of dental research. Professor Maria Clotilde Carra uncovers the intersections between oral health and systemic conditions, demonstrating how a holistic approach can support both periodontal and peri-implant disease prevention.
Discover the relationship between oral health and general health
Research identifies more than 50 systemic diseases associated with periodontal diseases, concluding there is an overarching connection between oral health and overall health. Start listening to learn about the relationship between periodontal disease and systemic conditions, and how one can impact the other.
Prevention of periodontal disease
Uncover the profound connection between oral and systemic health. This episode offers guidance on the critical role of primordial and primary prevention in safeguarding against periodontal disease. Learn how early interventions and ongoing care can significantly impact overall well-being and discover insights and practical advice for your dental practice.
Connecting the dots between oral and systemic diseases
Research highlights the link between poor oral health and several systemic conditions, with risk factors such as an unhealthy diet, smoking, and obesity playing a key role. These factors not only harm oral health but also contribute to conditions like heart disease and diabetes. In this Q&A episode, Prof. Carra discusses the various ways oral health and overall health are interconnected.
