Growing understanding of the relationship between oral health and systemic health has expanded the boundaries of responsibility for dental teams in the context of general medical care. Multimorbidity — a condition in which a patient suffers from several chronic diseases simultaneously — represents an area where dentists can make a significant contribution to both diagnosis and prevention.
The upcoming NSK Academy webinar on July 23rd will provide practical recommendations on integrating the principles of lifestyle medicine into routine dental practice. The main goal is to equip clinicians with evidence-based strategies for identifying lifestyle-related risk factors directly during patient appointments, as well as methods for supporting behavioral change.
The webinar will be led by two recognized specialists: dentist Dr Crystal Marruganti and dental therapist Cat Edney. They will discuss how integrating lifestyle medicine principles into daily practice can simultaneously improve both oral and systemic health, particularly in the context of prevention and management of periodontitis.
Dr Marruganti specializes in periodontology; her scientific work focuses on the interaction of systemic diseases, lifestyle factors, and periodontal pathology, including long-term prognosis of dental implants. Edney is a clinical educator and recognized opinion leader; her practice is concentrated on implementing a collaborative, evidence-based approach in restorative and periodontal therapy.
The webinar “Tackling multimorbidity starting from the dental chair: Why lifestyle medicine matters in everyday dental practice” will take place on July 23rd at 20:00 CEST. Participation is free; upon completion, one continuing professional education credit is available after passing a final test. Additional information is available on the nsk-academy.com website.
