title: Interdisciplinary nature of oral diseases--clinical implications.
abstract: Due to the progress in medicine and healthcare as well as the socioeconomic development in industrialised countries we have to deal with the flood of lifestyle diseases. The treatment of such diseases and in particular of complications thereof is the greatest economic burden on contemporary healthcare funding systems. Numerous studies prove the existence of interrelationships and cause-and-effect relationships among oral diseases and systemic illnesses. An analysis of risk factors for the occurrence of numerous systemic illnesses with a society-wide range has shown that the maintenance of oral health is one of essential elements which may considerably influence the modification of treatment outcomes for other general diseases.
