title: [Strengthen research on the relationship between oral diseases and systemic diseases].
abstract: Literatures have demonstrated the association between oral diseases and systemic diseases. For example, periodontitis is associated with coronary heart disease, diabetes, preterm low birth weight, and gastritis. Therefore, more relevant research on the relationship between oral diseases and systemic diseases should be carried out.
