Sinossi

Glick presents this volume on the relationship between oral and systemic health and disease. Contributions review a number of perspectives and conditions. First, the potential benefits of dentist screening for heart disease, diabetes, and HIV are discussed. Next, research rigor is addressed, outlining the challenges in deriving causal links from various types of studies showing associations and discussing the limited ability to control for confounds in health research. Several mechanistic chapters discuss salivary diagnostics, the oral microbiome, and routes by which suboptimal oral health may act as a causative factor in systemic disease. Diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, and pneumonia are each discussed in detail in connection to oral health indicators. A few special clinical intersections are also presented, including periodontal infections and pregnancy, oral complications in immunocompromised cancer patients, and detrimental oral effects of osteoporosis treatments. The final chapter treats the oral-systemic connection in the opposite direction from most of the book, discussing oral symptoms caused by systemic disease. Many of the chapters end with a summary of points relevant to clinical practice. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
