TITLE: PERIODONTAL
INFLAMMATION AS A DRIVER OF SYSTEMIC DISEASE
HOST: Dental CE Academy
COURSE SUMMARY: While
inflammation is an essential component of the body's immune
response, chronic or excessive inflammation can be a driver of
disease by promoting tissue damage, impairing organ function, and
creating an environment that is conducive to disease. This
continuing education course is designed to provide dental
clinicians with a comprehensive understanding of the intricate
relationship between periodontal inflammation and systemic
diseases. Recent research has illuminated the profound impact of
oral health on overall health, establishing a crucial link between
periodontal disease and various systemic conditions. This course
will delve into the mechanisms underlying this connection,
exploring the bidirectional pathways that contribute to both oral
and systemic well-being. Participants will gain insights into the
latest evidence, diagnostic tools, and treatment modalities aimed
at managing periodontal inflammation to improve not only oral
health but also overall systemic health.
