Course Description
This presentation will focus on the important link between systemic diseases and periodontal diseases. Major connections exist including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, pregnancy and now a connection to Alzheimer's is being discovered. Recognizing these diseases should be considered in any dental treatment. Factoring the whole patient medical history can significantly affect your long-term successful treatment. Examples from the past 25 years will illustrate how careful planning can lead to predictable outcomes and happy patients.
