Obesity, oral health links explored in dental literature current topics

You name the topic and the ADA Library can help you find current research.

Here’s an example. Evidence increasingly shows that oral and general health are interconnected, and health conditions like obesity have an effect on oral health.

Several journals have recently published articles on obesity and oral health, including the International Dental Journal (“Oral Aspects of Obesity”), the Journal of Dental Research (“Obesity, Inflammation, and Periodontal Disease”) and Oral Health and Preventive Dentistry (“Obesity and Dental Caries: A Systematic Review”).

Members interested in learning more about this topic can request one of these articles for a service fee of $7.

For a broader discussion of the topic, a multiple-article reference package is available for $25.

ADA librarians can identify research and clinical articles on any dental topic specific to a member’s need. Contact the ADA Library with your request at Ext. 2653.
