What's included?

Practitioners will consider how chronic oral dysregulation, including periodontal inflammation and microbial imbalance,  can contribute to systemic inflammatory patterns that are frequently encountered in clinical practice. 

The session focuses on making this understanding practically applicable, equipping practitioners with a clearer framework for integrating oral health assessment into their existing clinical approach.
