Talks

Aims

This webinar will address the current evidence base for the health and economic burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and the systemic impact of periodontitis on diabetes, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. The consensus views of the WONCA and the EFP on priorities to improve joint working between oral healthcare professionals and family doctors will be addressed, alongside the current consensus evidence base for the impact of periodontitis upon NCDs, the role of OHPs in early case detection/screening/prevention of CVD, diabetes and respiratory diseases, and the role of family doctors in the detection/ screening/prevention of periodontal diseases. This lecture will present a glimpse into the future of collaborating dental/medical care pathways.

Objectives

  • To understand the health and economic burden of NCDs, focussing on periodontitis, CVD, diabetes and respiratory diseases.

  • To summarise the current evidence-base for periodontitis as a risk factor for NCDs, specifically CVD, diabetes and respiratory diseases.

  • To summarise the biological links between periodontitis and NCDs.

  • To share the recommendations of the workshop on the potential role of family doctors in the early detection/screening/prevention of periodontitis and the role of oral healthcare professionals in the early detection/screening/prevention of CVD, diabetes and respiratory diseases.

  • To share with delegates the purpose, aims, objective and outcomes of the EFP-WONCA workshop.

Outcomes

  • Understand the impact of severe periodontitis upon the economy and public health.

  • Be able to confidently discuss with and explain to patients the impact of periodontitis on their general health and wellbeing based on recommendations of the EFP-WONCA consensus report.

  • Have insights into how early case detection of diabetes, CVD or respiratory diseases may be implemented in dental practice and how family doctors need to develop care pathways for their patients with NCDs into oral healthcare teams.

  • Appreciate the tools that are being developed to enable closer and more joined up working between oral healthcare professionals and family doctors, that put the patient at the centre of holistic care.
