THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PERIODONTAL DISEASE AND SYSTEMIC HEALTH: A STUDY IN PESHAWAR

In this investigation, the dental schools in Peshawar—specifically, Khyber College of Dentistry, Rehman College of Dentistry, Sardar Begum Dental College, and Peshawar Dental College—are examined in relation to systemic health issues and periodontal illnesses. A number of systemic disorders, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and respiratory infections, are being investigated in an effort to determine a connection between dental health and these conditions. Clinical and non-clinical subjects alike made up 250 of the subjects involved in this cross-sectional study. Results show that those with periodontal disorders are more likely to get other systemic illnesses, highlighting the significance of dental health in managing general health. Additional studies and public health programs aimed at preventing periodontal disease in Peshawar are also highlighted by the paper.
