Lecture Course
Periodontal Disease Linked to Systemic Diseases
Donald P. Callan, BS, BA, D.D.S
OVERVIEW
Evidence suggests periodontitis can be a systemic exposure that may contribute to the development or progression of other systemic diseases and conditions. Similarities of microbial populations have been shown to exist between dental implants and natural teeth. Periodontal disease, peri-implantitis, and crestal bone loss associated with teeth and dental implants are a significant clinical phenomenon. These conditions will often compromise long-term prognosis, esthetics, function of teeth, oral and systemic health of patients. The purpose of this presentation is to provide evidence based information to evaluate the relationship of periodontal diseases, peri-implantitis and systemic diseases. Second, is to compare surgically, clinically, and radiographically vertical and horizontal bone loss patterns of natural teeth and dental implants and determine if a predictable pattern exists and then determine the best treatment.
Objectives
• To identify systemic links of periodontal disease.
• To understand the pathways of periodontal bacterial transfer.
• To identify systemic conditions that may be subject to periodontal pathogens.
• To identify the early signs of implant failure.
• To understand why bone loss is occurring about the dental implant.
• To select the proper treatment to correct the bone loss problem.
• To determine the time and sequence for treatment.
• To defend the procedure clinically, functionally, and histologically.
