Summary

Introduction

Oral diseases continue to be a major health problem worldwide. Dental caries and periodontal diseases are among the most important global oral health problems, conditions such as oral and pharyngeal cancers and oral tissue lesions are significant health concerns [1]. Despite general advances in the overall health status of the people living in industrialized countries, including oral and dental health, the prevalence of dental caries in school aged children is up to 90% and the majority of adults are affected [2]. There is considerable evidence linking poor oral health to chronic conditions, for example, there is a strong association between severe periodontal diseases and diabetes [3]. The economic impact of oral diseases is an important consideration with up to 10% of public health expenditure in developed countries related to curative dental care
