New global institute aims to explore the link between mouth and body
Published
A new global institute called the "Mouth-to-Body Health Institute" has been announced. The organisation aims to put scientific findings on the connection between oral health and the health of the rest of the body into practice.
In technical terms, this is referred to as "oral-systemic research". The question is how problems in the mouth may be linked to diseases in the rest of the body. The institute is intended to bring together various fields, above all dentistry and human medicine.
The goal is to improve the prevention and treatment of patients. According to the announcement, the research results are therefore to be used directly in the care of people. The press release did not provide details on locations, funding or specific projects in this form.
The information comes from a press release. Whether and how the institute will become active in Switzerland is not yet known. For readers in Switzerland, the topic may still be of interest, because dental and medical practices deal with such questions every day. It remains to be seen what results the institute's work will bring.
