Features

This issue of Grand Rounds in Oral-Systemic Medicine™ is accompanied by a special supplement that features a landmark document entitled the Report of the Independent Panel of Experts of ‘The Scottsdale Project’.

Letter from the Editor

It is simultaneously sad and exciting to announce that with this current issue, we are stepping down as the editors of Grand Rounds in Oral-Systemic Medicine™.

Original Article

Periodontal disease refers to any disease of the supporting structures of the teeth, including the interface of epithelium, connective tissue, and mineralized tissue.

The immune response is the primary host defense against microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

Human organ transplantation, a topic of science fiction in past years, is now a reality.

The kidneys control 3 basic life functions: excretion of nitrogenous waste products; regulation of volume, composition, and acid-base balance of plasma; and synthesis of hormones necessary for erythrocyte production, bone metabolism, and maintaining blood pressure.

Tools for Implementation

Editor’s Note: Our best and brightest dental and dental hygiene students have an opportunity to actively participate in the design and development of important patient education materials.

Continuing Education Test

This CE course is intended for dentists and dental hygienists. The cost of this course is $45 for 3 credits.

Front Line Perspectives

While some Americans are searching for the fountain of youth, millions of other Americans are dying of cardiovascular and other chronic inflammatory diseases.

Hardly a day goes by in the world of dentistry without some mention of the role of oral health in the overall health of patients, and the potential for poor oral health to increase risk for systemic disease.

Guest Editorial

The editorial vision of Grand Rounds in Oral-Systemic Medicine™ notes that “scientific study that is not translated and used in daily practice ultimately is wasted”, and cites as one of its goals the stimulation of “collaboration and innovative thinking on how to transcend professional boundaries to integrate clinical protocols that include application of oral-systemic medicine in everyday patient care”.
