Periodontics
The bidirectional relationship between periodontal disease and systemic illnesses underscores the importance of integrated healthcare in dentistry. Conditions like diabetes and cardiovascular disease impact oral health, particularly tooth care and cavities. Inflammatory pathways link systemic health with periodontal outcomes, affecting treatment in Pediatric dentistry, geriatric dental care, and prosthodontics. Emphasizing cosmetic dentistry, endodontics, and regular oral screening helps prevent complications. Aligners, veneers, and teeth whitening procedures also benefit from systemic health monitoring, enhancing overall treatment success.
