Body
on Fire:
Inflammatory Mediators Linking Oral and Systemic
Health
What role does inflammation play in the
oral/systemic link? How does periodontal disease
affect systemic diseases such as diabetes and
heart disease? What role does inflammation and
periodontal disease play in pregnancy risks? How
do we communicate these potential health-altering
links to our patients? How can we gain confidence
in talking to other medical professionals about
our shared patients? This interactive workshop
will give you keys to answer these questions and
more. You will be strengthened in understanding,
encouraged in communication skills and have some
fun in the process!

Burning Down the House:
Understanding Inflammation’s Role in Oral/Systemic
Connections
Chronic inflammation is reported as the strongest
correlation between periodontal disease and
systemic disease. When inflammation is unchecked,
multiple systems within the body can be negatively
affected. Unique correlations to heart disease,
diabetes, pregnancy complications, arthritis, and
digestive complications are seen in conjunction
with the inflammatory response activated in
periodontal disease. Dental professionals are
expected to educate their patients about the
systemic risks of periodontal disease and be a
part of the dental/medical collaboration of shared
patients.
How do we communicate these potential
health-altering links to our patients? How can we
gain confidence in talking to other medical
professionals about our shared patients? This
interactive workshop will give you keys to answer
these questions and more.
After attending this presentation, the participant
should be able to:
• Review the mechanism and role of inflammation in
the body
• Understand periodontal disease as a chronic
inflammatory disease
• Explore the connection of inflammation and
periodontal disease with many
systemic conditions
• Increase understanding of inflammation
vocabulary
• Gain confidence in collaborating with medical
providers about shared patients
This course can be booked directly through Kelli
