Core Beliefs • Basic Belief in Prevention and Wellness • Oral Systemic Link “With the Biophotonic Scanner, dentistry can evolve into the realm of a more holistic domain with the oral systemic link now definitively acknowledged and related to a person’s overall well being.” Dr. David Garber September 2007
Periodontal Disease, Heart Disease Share Genetic Link • The University of Kiel team found that periodontitis and coronary heart disease share a genetic variant on chromosome 9. • Because of the link between periodontitis and CHD, "we think that periodontitis should be taken very seriously by dentists and diagnosed and treated as early as possible,“"Now that we know for sure that there is a strong genetic link, patients with periodontitis should try to reduce their risk factors and take preventive measures at an early stage," Dr. Arne Schaefer posted 5/26/09 http://health.usnews.com • American Cardiology Association has recommended all cardiac patients be screened for antioxidant status in a recent meeting in Orlando in April 2009
Risk Assessment • Diagnostic work up CRITICAL prior to comprehensive dental treatment for optimal treatment outcomes “A better understanding of how antioxidants function in the pathogenesis of periodontitis, and the effects of diet and nutritional supplementation on antioxidant status, may lead to new strategies on the treatment of the disease” Dr Ross Lambert • Antioxidant status linked to all forms of degenerative diseases. Once disease presents itself orally, your patient is very likely to have other systemic degenerative disease present.
Conversion to Health • Anyone have refractory periodontal patients? • Antioxidant status might be key predictor to treatment outcomes Dr. Iain Chapple, Feb 2009 “The evidence for the effect of antioxidants on inflammation is robust. Nutritional intervention studies with inflammatory periodontal disease offer great potential as therapeutic strategies.” • Long-term nutritional support prevents relapse • 45,000 SCS and anecdotal clinical reports • Hundreds of scientific studies support increased antioxidantstatus reduce risk for cancer, diabetes and many other systemic degenerative diseases
