The relationship of periodontal disease to diseases and disorders at distant sites: communication to health care professionals and patients Lamster IB; DePaola DP; Oppermann RV; Papapanou PN; Wilder RSJ Am Dent Assoc 2008[Oct]; 139 (10): 1389-97BACKGROUND: The body of research defining relationships among periodontal disease and certain systemic diseases and disorders has been expanding, and questions have been raised regarding what information should be conveyed to health care professionals and patients. METHODS: Representatives from dentistry, medicine, the academic community and the insurance industry convened a two-day workshop July 23 and 24, 2007. RESULTS: The workshop participants achieved general consensus on a number of issues, including the need for greater cooperation between the health care professions. This cooperation should translate into improved clinical care as physicians refer patients for dental care, and dentists are proactive in regard to the general health of their patients. CONCLUSION: Communication to health care professionals requires a multifaceted approach that includes publication of research findings in medical and dental journals, cooperation among professional organizations and initiatives at the local level such as presentations at medical grand rounds. Dental schools should play a role in their health science centers. Communication with patients may improve through the use of targeted informational brochures in the offices of medical specialists, appropriate media campaigns and efforts led by local dental organizations. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: It is too early to provide specific recommendations regarding the treatment of periodontal disease to improve specific health outcomes, but dentists can become advocates for a general health promotion and disease prevention message. The lifestyles approach includes an improved diet, smoking cessation, appropriate hygiene practices and stress reduction. These strategies can improve oral and general health outcomes.|*Disease[MESH]|*Information Dissemination[MESH]|Communication[MESH]|Cooperative Behavior[MESH]|Dental Care[MESH]|Dentists[MESH]|Health Personnel[MESH]|Health Promotion[MESH]|Health Status[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Interprofessional Relations[MESH]|Patients[MESH]|Periodontal Diseases/*complications[MESH]|Physicians[MESH]|Professional-Patient Relations[MESH]|Publishing[MESH]|Referral and Consultation[MESH] |
