The Science Behind Inflammation
The emerging science of systemic inflammation is largely responsible for the growing attraction between medicine and dentistry. In order for dentists to enjoyclose referral relationships with physicians it is important to learn how to approach physicians. Fundamental to building referral networks, is understanding the language of medicine and knowing how to speak with medical doctors. Systemic inflammation deals with infection, proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines, adhesion molecules, C-reactive protein, reactive oxygen species, and so on.
This 37 minute Flash PowerPoint presentation presents the science behind systemic inflammation. By viewing this short tutorial you will better understand the basic science that explains the phenomenon that appears to link chronic oral infections with heart disease, pregnancy complications, diabetes, and many other medical conditions. This could also be an excellent tutorial presentation for dental staff.
