Almost two-thirds of the world's population, approximately 3.5 billion people, suffer from some kind of oral disease. A large number of studies have been published in the medical literature on the correlation between oral diseases and various somatic nosologies. In particular, in the case of diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, and neurological pathologies, a significant correlation is observed.
We have developed a methodology based on the study, comparison, and rational processing of anamnestic data from the answers to a 40-question questionnaire compiled by patients.
Within the framework of our research, a specific algorithm is calculated by a dentist, by examining the oral cavity, recording current acute or chronic diseases, and by detailed study of the questionnaire filled out by patients and processing the database, based on which it becomes possible for the dentist to perform early detection and prevention of possible diseases of various body systems.
