The Meaning of Oral HealthOral health means much more than healthy

teeth

Traditionally, dentists have been trained to recognise and treat disease such as caries, periodontal disease and tumors

The Meaning of Oral HealthBeing free of chronic oral-facial pain conditions,

oral and pharyngeal (throat) cancers, oral soft tissue lesions, birth defects such as cleft lip and palate, and scores of other diseases and disorders that affect the oral, dental, and craniofacial tissues, collectively known as the craniofacial complex.

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2000

The Meaning of Oral HealthThey represent the very essence of our

humanity. They allow us to speak and smile; sigh and kiss;

smell, taste, touch, chew, and swallow; cry out in pain; and convey a world of feelings and emotions through facial expressions.

They also provide protection against microbial infections and environmental insults.

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2000

The Meaning of HealthOral health is a standard of the oral and

related tissues which enables an individual to eat, speak and socialise without active disease, discomfort or embarrassment and which contributes to general well-being

WHO, 1982

The Meaning of Oral Health

A comfortable and functional dentition which allows individuals to continue in their desired social role

Dolan, 1993

The Mouth and Face as a Mirror of HealthA physical examination of the mouth and

face: signs of disease, drug use, domestic physical abuse, harmful habits or addictions such as smoking, and general health status

Imaging of the oral and craniofacial structures: skeletal changes e.g. osteoporosis, salivary, congenital, neoplastic, and developmental disorders

Oral cells and fluids, especially saliva: assess health and disease

The Mouth and Face as a Mirror of HealthConclusion

For the clinician the mouth and face provide ready access to physical signs and symptoms of local and generalized disease and risk factor exposure

Oral biomarkers and surrogate measures are also being explored as means of early diagnosis

The Mouth as a Portal Entry for InfectionOral microorganisms and cytotoxic by-

products associated with local infections can enter the bloodstream or lymphatic system and cause damage or potentiate an inappropriate immune response elsewhere in the body

Oral Mucositis from Therapy Chemotherapy alters the integrity of the

mucosa and contributes to acute and chronic changes in oral tissue and physiologic processes (Carl 1995)

Bacterial, fungal, and viral causes of mucositis have been identified (Feld 1997)

Sonis, et al 2007

Infective EndocarditisEndocarditis is caused by bacteria that

adhere to damaged endocardium(Weinstein and Schlesinger 1974)

Bacteremias from oral infections that occur frequently during normal daily activities, coincidental even with chewing food, toothbrushing, and flossing, contribute more substantially to the risk of infective endocarditis (Bayliss et al. 1983, Dajani et al. 1997, Strom et al. 1998).

Infective EndocarditisRisk factors

Rheumatic and congenital heart disease complex

Cyanotic heart disease in childrenMitral valve prolapse with regurgitation

Oral Infection and Respiratory DiseaseChronic obstructive pulmonary disease,

characterized by obstruction of airflow due to chronic bronchitis or emphysema and by recurrent episodes of respiratory infection, has been associated with poor oral health status (Hayes et al. 1998, Scannapieco et al. 1998)

A positive relationship between periodontal disease and bacterial pneumonia has been shown (Scannapieco and Mylotte 1996)

Oral Transmission of InfectionSeveral studies provide evidence that when

the oral environment is compromised, the mouth can be a potential site of transmission of infectious microbes

Oral transmission represented 7.8 percent of primary HIV infections (Dillon et al. 2000)

The Mouth as a Portal Entry for InfectionConclusion

Although oral tissues and fluids normally provide significant protection against microbial infections, but under certain circumstances, can disseminate to cause infections in other parts of the body.

The control of existing oral infections is clearly of intrinsic importance and a necessary precaution to prevent systemic complications.

Periodontitis - DMThere is growing acceptance that diabetes is

associated with increased occurrence and progression of periodontitis

Diabetics have increased levels of systemic pro-inflammatory mediators

Diabetics have an altered response to wound healing and an abnormal immune response

Periodontitis - DMDiabetic patients had a worse oral hygiene

and higher severity of gingival and periodontal diseases, but they have the same extent of the periodontal diseases as compared to non-diabetics

Khader et al. 2006

DM - Periodontitis

DM - PeriodontitisThe interaction of periodontal bacterial

byproducts with mononuclear phagocytic cells and fibroblasts is known to induce the chronic release of cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, TNF-), PGE2 and CRP

Several recent studies have suggested that periodontal disease is a crucial aggravating factor in the health of patients with diabetes, mainly because it maintains a chronic systemic inflammatory process

DM - PeriodontitisDarre’s study (2008)

Aim - To investigate that periodontal disease may favour the incidence or aggravation of diabetes and its complications

Material and Methods – Literature search from 7 databases were as input of meta-analysis

DM - PeriodontitisThe standardized mean difference in HbA1c

with the treatment of periodontal disease was 0.46 (95% CI: 0.11, 0.82)

These findings suggest that periodontal treatment could lead to a significant 0.79% (95% CI: 0.19, 1.40) reduction in HbA1c level

These results suggest that specific treatment of periodontal disease in diabetic subjects may improve their glycemic control

Periodontitis – Heart DiseaseSome studies have presented evidence of the

presence of bacteria and viruses in atheromatous plaques (Chiu et al. 1997, Johnston et al. 2001)

Majority of the clinical studies are seroepidemiological, reporting on associations between CHD and presence of serum antibody against the infectious agents (Mendall et al. 1994, Pasceri et al. 1998, Patel et al. 1995, Ridker et al. 1998, Saikku et al. 1992, Zhu et al. 2000).

Periodontitis – Heart Disease

Periodontitis – Heart Disease

Periodontitis - PreganancyRemote site infections, such as periodontitis,

may cause PTB through hematogenous transportation of specific pathogens, organisms, or inflammatory cytokines in the amniotic fluid or chorioamniotic membranes.

Periodontal disease during pregnancy has been postulated to be 1 of the causes of PTB and LBW infants

Several case-control studies suggested that periodontitis is an increased risk factor independent of other factors

Cognitive Impairment 5 extracted molar versus 5 non-extracted

molar rats were compared to each other in learning ability and acetylcholine release in parietal lobe brain

To examine the effects of tooth loss on the central nervous system

Kato et al., 1997

5 Rats aged 11 weeks old kept in 23c, 50%humidity, 12 h light/dark

Extract all maxillary and mandibular molars

Test in radial arm maze

Test of Acetyl-choline releasing from parietal cortex

135 weeks

9 weeks

It has been demonstrated that the neuronal activity in the brain and the cerebral blood flow were increased by mastication

Thus, one possible explanation may be that the dysfunction of cholinergic neuronal system in the teethless aged rats is caused by the long term decrease of neuron activity of the brain and/or the cerebral blood flow by the loss of teeth
