Drs. Lamster and Papapanou unfortunately are not able to share their PowerPoint presentations because much of the content from their discussions is the property of Columbia University and also may contain research information that has yet to be published. Dr. Lamster writes: Let me suggest the following material as background to my presentations. 1. Oral Health Care for Older Adults: Lamster, I. B. Oral health care services for for older adults: a looming crisis. Am. J. Public Health 94: 699, 2004. I also suggest that interested readers review the September 2005 issue of the Journal of Dental Education which contains the proceedings of a meeting held the prior year about oral health care for the elderly. 2. Diabetes mellitus/conclusions regarding the relationship of oral infection and certain systemic diseases: There are many reviews covering the relationship of diabetes and periodontal disease. We wrote a review that provides a more detailed explanation of the biological mechanisms that account for periodontal disease as a complication of diabetes: Lamster, I.B., Schmidt, A.M. and Lalla, E. Periodontal disease as a complication of diabetes mellitus: studies of type 1 disease. In: Periodontal Tissue Destruction and Remodeling, edited by O. Tuncer, S. Mutlu and C. Scully. Quintessence Ltd., Chicago, 2003, pp.23-39. I also suggest that interested readers refer to the Annals of Periodontology, Volume 8, 2003. As part of this workshop the evidence supporting periodontal disease as a risk factor for cardiovascular/cerebrovascular diseases, respiratory diseases and adverse pregnancy outcomes was reviewed, and conclusions were drawn. There has certainly been additional data published since then, but this volume will give your members a good review of earlier studies. Hope that helps.
