“The Perio Link : periodontal and cardiovascular diseases”
3.november 15:30
Welcome to the 8th Sunstar Conversations Pro webinar, dedicated to the link between periodontal and cardiovascular diseases!
After the monthly conversations on the theme of oral health challenges through different life stages from the pregnant woman to the aging patient, a series of 2 special webinars will take place in November to tackle the interrelationships between oral health and general health, in conjunction with the Sunstar World Perio Research award.
Periodontal diseases have an impact on general health and vice-versa. A poor oral health is associated with diabetes, heart disease, pulmonary disease and more.
The Sunstar World Perio Research Award, established since 2003, aims to promote further research in the oral-systemic link to raise awareness around the world. Three winning papers are selected by a committee, formed by the representatives of leading international dental journals (Journal of Periodontology, Journal of Clinical Periodontology, Journal of Periodontal Research, Journal of Dental Research).
Join our 1st special session to celebrate the 2021 winners on November 3rd 2:30pm CET with Prof. James Beck and Prof. Richard Singer about periodontal and cardiovascular diseases, moderated by Prof. Kenneth Kornman.
This is an online event. After the registration, the link to the live stream will appear on the right side.
