Cell-to-cell Communication: Oral Health and General Health: The Links Between Periodontitis, Atherosclerosis, and Diabetes

The mouth is no sealed compartment, and that is the subject of this multimedia instalment in the Cell-to-Cell Communication series: the connections between periodontal disease and two widespread systemic conditions, atherosclerosis and diabetes. Signed by Søren Jepsen, Mariano Sanz, Bernd Stadlinger and Hendrik Terheyden, it sits exactly where periodontics overlaps with general medicine. Its visual format makes it well suited to teaching and to sustaining the conversation with the patient about why their oral health matters beyond the mouth. English edition, on DVD-ROM.
