Oral Health and Systemic Diseases: Exploring the Connections

Abstract

Nobuhiko Kamada

This paper explores the intricate connections between oral health and systemic diseases, highlighting the bidirectional relationships and underlying mechanisms that link oral conditions to overall health outcomes. The review emphasizes the importance of integrated healthcare approaches and preventive strategies to mitigate risks and improve both oral and systemic health. Advancing age is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Men tend to be at higher risk at a younger age, but the risk for women increases after menopause. The relationship between oral health and systemic diseases has garnered increasing attention due to growing evidence linking poor oral hygiene to various medical conditions. This introduction sets the stage by outlining the scope of the review, discussing the potential pathways through which oral pathogens and inflammation contribute to systemic inflammation and disease progression.
