  Periodontitis and systemic disease

  In recent years there has been considerable interest in possible links between periodontal disease and systemic diseases. The general public are increasingly aware that such links may exist and in some cases are concerned about the implications for them as individuals. Nearly half of all adults in the United Kingdom have some form of periodontal disease,¹ and as such present to dental practices every day. It is essential that all members of the dental team are aware of the periodontitis-systemic disease link, and can provide clear evidence-based advice and information to patients. The aim of this article is to summarise the current state of knowledge so that members of the dental team can convey appropriate advice and guidance to patients.
