Overview

Prolific researcher and Harvard professor Dr. Hend Alqaderi published a critical paper in the journal of periodontology entitled “association between sleep and severe periodontitis in a nationally representative adult US population.” She’s here to tell us about the influence sleep has on periodontal disease as well as the immune system. You’ll gain a better understanding for how the immune system functions in relation to periodontal disease. 

Lesson Objectives

  1. Review the etiology of periodontal disease
  2. Understand how disordered sleep and sleep deprivation may compromise the immune system 
  3. Learn of how a compromised immune system may contribute to periodontal disease 
  4. Become aware of the role diabetes plays in sleep deprivation and severe periodontal disease
