Oralni zdravstveni problemi mogu imati značajan utjecaj na opće zdravlje, a ukoliko se ne liječe mogu dovesti do raznih poteškoća ne samo na području usne šupljine već i u cijelom tijelu. Na sličan način, mnoštvo sistemskih bolesti i stanja ima potencijal manifestirati se u usnoj šupljini time pogoršavajući sveukupne probleme oralnog zdravlja.
Održavanje dobrog oralnog zdravlja nije važno samo za zdrav i lijep osmijeh, već može imati značajan utjecaj na opće zdravlje. Osobito su parodontne bolesti povezane uz razne sistemske bolesti i mogu imati negativan utjecaj na njih. Bakterije koje uzrokuju parodontne bolesti mogu ući u krvotok i pridonijeti stvaranju plaka u arterijama, što dovodi do povećanog rizika od bolesti srca i moždanog udara. Nadalje, jedan od simptoma koji se manifestira u usnoj šupljini kod pacijenata sa šećernom bolesti jest suhoća usta što može povećati rizik od nastanka karijesa. Zatim, visoka razina šećera u krvi može uzrokovati upalu desni, što dovodi do gingivitisa. Ukoliko se ne liječi, gingivitis prelazi u parodontitis što može uzrokovati gubitak zuba. S druge strane, parodontitis može štetno djelovati na kontrolu glikemije kod pacijenata sa šećernom bolesti. Hormonalne promjene tijekom trudnoće mogu utjecati na oralno zdravlje. Povećane razine hormona i nepravilno održavanje oralne higijene u kombinaciji mogu izazvati trudnički gingivitis. Zbog utjecaja progesterona i estrogena na parodontna tkiva te prisutnost parodontitisa u majke mogu izazvati prijevremeni porođaj ili druge komplikacije tijekom trudnoće.
Neupitno je da povezanost između oralnog i općeg zdravlja čini jedinstvenu cjelinu. Stoga je ključno pravilno održavati oralnu higijenu i redovito tražiti profesionalnu stomatološku njegu kako bi se osiguralo dobro oralno zdravlje, što dakako zauzvrat pridonosi općem dobrom zdravlju.
Abstract (english) The importance of oral health cannot be overstated, as it is a vital component of overall well-being and understanding its significance is crucial in maintaining good general health. Health complications in the mouth can have a significant impact on one's overall health and, if left untreated, can lead to various difficulties not only in the oral cavity but also throughout the body. Similarly, numerous systemic illnesses and conditions have the potential to manifest themselves in the mouth, worsening overall oral health problems.
Maintaining good oral health is not only important for a healthy and attractive smile, but it can also have a significant impact on overall health. Periodontal diseases, in particular, are linked to various systemic illnesses and can have adverse effects on them. Bacteria that cause periodontal diseases can enter the bloodstream and contribute to the buildup of plaque in arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke. Additionally, patients with diabetes may experience dry mouth, which increases the risk of tooth decay. High blood sugar levels can also cause gum inflammation, leading to gingivitis. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, which can result in tooth loss. On the other hand, periodontitis can have a detrimental effect on glycemic control in diabetic patients. Hormonal changes during pregnancy can also affect oral health. Increased hormone levels and inadequate oral hygiene can lead to pregnancy gingivitis. The presence of periodontitis in mothers, coupled with the influence of progesterone and estrogen on periodontal tissues, can cause premature labor or other complications during pregnancy.
Undoubtedly, the connection between oral health and overall health is an inseparable entity. Thus, it is crucial to uphold proper oral hygiene practices and regularly seek professional dental care to ensure good oral health, which in turn contributes to overall well-being.
