Description: Oral health is multi-faceted and therefore does not occur in isolation but is embedded in the wider framework of overall health. Therefore, it is important for dental practitioners to become better acquainted with both some well-established and up and coming correlations between oral and overall health within the recent literature and to provide the appropriate care and treatment that takes into consideration these correlations.

Learning objectives: Upon completion, participants will be able to:

- understand the linkage/correlation between oral and overall health, specifically oral infection and systemic disease.

- become familiar with common systemic diseases associated with oral health.

- learn about recommendations as to how to treat patients with oral infections that are correlated to certain systemic diseases or conditions.
