Periodontal-Systemic Disease Relationship

About

The Periodontal–Systemic Disease Relationship Webinar, organized by the Saudi Society of Periodontology and Implant Dentistry (SSPI), is an advanced scientific activity highlighting the complex links between oral health and systemic diseases. Delivered by Prof. Luigi Nibali, the session focuses on the latest clinical and scientific evidence showing how periodontal inflammation intersects with conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, immune disorders, and other systemic health issues. This webinar provides healthcare professionals with a deeper understanding of how local oral inflammation contributes to broader systemic outcomes.

The event also emphasizes practical integration strategies, equipping clinicians with methods to incorporate systemic health considerations into periodontal diagnosis and treatment planning. Moderated by Dr. Fatimah Alghareeb, the session aims to promote comprehensive, holistic oral healthcare by strengthening interdisciplinary clinical awareness. Participants will gain valuable insights into shared risk factors, inflammatory pathways, and the significance of early periodontal intervention for improved patient outcomes.
