Registration 8:30am, Lecture 9:00am - 5:00pm
"The Connections Between Periodontal Health and Systemic Well-Being: What Do They Mean to My Practice?"
Presented by Dr. Brian Mealey, DDS, MS

Continuing Education Credits: 6

From the New England Journal of Medicine to Ladies Home Journal, the last 15 years have seen an explosion of published information related to the interactions between oral and systemic health. Patients reading this information want to know how it relates to their own health. This lecture reviews the links between periodontal/peri-implant inflammation and commonly encountered systemic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and pregnancy. The purpose of the lecture is to translate knowledge gleaned from medical and dental research into the everyday world of clinical dental practice.
