A 4-year study of older Japanese men and women living in their homes has connected the number of root caries to systemic inflammation. Refer to Figure 1. This study also found a significant association between root caries and irregular heartbeat, allowing for other confounding variables.
So what? What should the dental team do with this information?
Let’s look to what your patients think about this study. Judging from the Facebook post on this study on Partners in Prevention, in this context, older women are greatly interested and motivated to purchase your services.
