Women’s Aging Complexities ~ The 2014 Oral Health Connection SPONSORED BY CREST ORAL-B As the numbers of aging women increase worldwide, dental professionals face significant challenges and opportunities. Recognizing gender specific health concerns impacting the overall well-being of patients has become increasingly important. A number of health conditions are more prevalent, may cause different symptoms and affect women differently than men. Oftentimes, women are at greater risk for specific medical conditions and are simply unaware. Knowledge of a condition’s symptoms, risk factors and preventive approaches can assist the dental professional in being more informed. From preventive care to treatment strategies, options, medications and resources, we as dental professionals become challenged to stay informed as medical needs continually change during the aging years. Women’s medical concerns such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and osteoporosis will be addressed along with their surprisingly strong influence on the oral cavity. With oral health being an integral part of general health, oral problems indigenous to women will be discussed. The impact from medications and the oral manifestations they create greatly determine how dental products should be utilized and tailored to meet specific needs. This presentation will detail the current research linking systemic disease with gingival and periodontal inflammation. Treatment protocols and home care recommendations designed to assist in achieving optimal oral health will be outlined. As research unfolds additional oral discoveries and causal relationships in systemic diseases, discussion will surround the latest evidence-based technology impacting oral health and whole body wellness. This program will additionally provide dental professionals a detailed overview of osteoporosis and its treatments. With the issue of osteonecrosis of the jaw being prominent in the media, understanding the risk benefit ratio of treating osteoporosis with oral bisphosphonates is important for all dental professionals. In osteoporotic patients, long term treatment is essential for bone health and prevention of fracture. Routine dental care is important and should be part of the osteoporosis treatment regimen. Education will help dental professionals balance dental health needs with bone health concerns.
