Preparations are being finalised for next month\u2019s\u00a0Perio & Cardio Workshop<\/a>, which will explore the links between periodontal disease and cardiovascular diseases<\/a> and draw up a series of recommendations.<\/p>\n

The workshop will take place in Madrid on February 18 and 19, organised jointly by the World Heart Federation\u00a0and the European Federation of Periodontology<\/a> (EFP), in partnership with\u00a0Dentaid<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The workshop will bring together 21 experts from the two organisations, who will review scientific papers and produce consensus reports, which will be published in the EFP\u2019s\u00a0Journal Clinical Periodontology<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

The federation\u2019s communications team will then develop an outreach project, also sponsored by Dentaid, that will disseminate the key information from this workshop among various groups: oral-healthcare professionals, physicians, pharmacists, researchers, media, patients, and the public.<\/p>\n

This would thus be the fourth EFP project, following those on\u00a0Oral Health & Pregnancy<\/a>,\u00a0Perio & Caries<\/a>, and\u00a0Perio & Diabetes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Four questions, two working groups<\/strong><\/p>\n

Like the 2017 Perio & Diabetes Workshop, the Perio & Caries Workshop will look to build on the groundbreaking work of the EFP\u2019s\u00a0IX European Workshop on Periodontology<\/a>, held in 2012, which explored the links between periodontitis and systemic conditions including cardiovascular diseases.<\/p>\n

Participants in the Perio & Cardio Workshop will work in two working groups, each considering two areas.<\/p>\n

Working group 1, chaired by Mariano Sanz (EFP) and Jos\u00e9\u00a0Ram\u00f3n Gonz\u00e1lez Juanatey.\u00a0(WHF), will consider:<\/p>\n
