Description

Objectives:

  • Understand how p.gingivalis may contribute to a dysbiotic gut microbiota
  • Explain how oral inflammation plays a role in worsening Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis
  • Evaluate the research linking periodontitis to colon cancer and pancreatic cancer
  • Discuss the role periodontal therapy and good oral hygiene may have on gastrointestinal health

Emerging studies are starting to show a strong link between oral health and gut health. Periodontal bacteria have been shown to worsen inflammatory bowel disease and potentially play a role in the development of colon cancer. This course will examine the emerging evidence on how the oral microbiome and subsequent inflammation play a role in gastrointestinal health.

Topics:

  • P. gingivitis
  • Inflammation and immune function
  • Dysbiosis
  • Inflammatory bowel diseases
  • Colon cancer
