Course Description
Oral Diagnosis, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology
The cycles of infection, immune response, inflammation and recovery take place 24/7 inside of our bodies. This live webinar examines the deadly synergistic exacerbation between cardiovascular disease (CVD), which is the leading cause of death and disability for men and women in North America, and the contributing role oral disease plays in patients with CVD. The conditions of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance’s devastating outcomes of heart attack and stroke will be discussed.
The educational teaching methodology used in this course is a self-study lecture presented via pre-recorded webinar in concert with an accompanying PowerPoint presentation. Both the pre-recorded webinar and the PowerPoint presentation incorporate a variety of audio and visual cues to enhance audience members’ understanding and retention of key concepts.
