Objectives • To discuss the systemic diseases that are impacted negatively by poor oral hygiene. To discuss the Prevention of Gum Decease . • To discuss the systemic effects of caries, gingivitis, and periodontal disease • To consider emerging evidence of other possible disease associations.
Because of the abundance of current information on the “Oral –Systemic Connection”, Meta analysis and systemic reviews were primarily consulted for this presentation. Consequently, a large amount of research was considered with the primary findings highlighted here.
How does periodontal disease affect diabetes? • Those patients with periodontal infections had worse glycemic control over time. This may be a result of cytokines secreted because of chronic inflammation. Cytokines are associated with insulin resistance. • Treatment of periodontitis improved glycemic control.
How does periodontal disease affect respiratory health? • The oral cavity provides a reservoir of bacteria for lower airway infections. • Bacteria from the mouth can form a biofilm on ventilation tubing, thereby inoculating the respiratory tract with oral bacteria. • Oral bacteria may also be aspirated by the patient.
