Mala higiene bucal y deterioro cognitivo

By 2030, approximately 1 in 5 adults will be aged 65 and older. Around 60% of this demographic will have some form of periodontal disease (PD). More than 5 million will have Alzheimer’s disease. Studies have found that people with oral inflammation, such as periodontal disease have increased cognitive decline.  The participant in this on-demand interactive* webinar will discover the potential role of p. gingivalis and the herpes virus in brain inflammation; evaluate the research showing how PD may increase risk and /or worsen dementias and cognitive decline; discuss the role PD therapy and good oral hygiene may have on brain health.

This live webinar will focus on:

• Types of dementias and cognitive decline
• Risk factors
• P. gingivalis and the herpes virus
• Inflammation and brain atrophy
• Comorbidities
