The Impact of Edentulism on Oral and General Health

Abstract EN

An adequate dentition is of importance for well-being and life quality.

Despite advances in preventive dentistry, edentulism is still a major public health problem worldwide.

In this narrative review, we provide a perspective on the pathways that link oral to general health.

A better understanding of disease indicators is necessary for establishing a solid strategy through an organized oral health care system to prevent and treat this morbid chronic condition.
