Causality or Coincidence?
The joint workshop of the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) and the European Federation of Periodontology on periodontitis and systemic diseases, which took place in November 2012 in Segovia, Spain, discussed at length the question of causality vs coincidence. The workshop was sponsored by Colgate and included more than 90 international experts who reviewed the evidence relating to periodontal diseases and diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases (CVD), adverse pregnancy outcomes, and other systemic illnesses. The objective of the workshop was to help practicing dental professionals make evidence-based decisions with their patients. The proceedings were published in April 2013 in a joint publication of the American Academy of Periodontology and the European Federation of Periodontology in both the Journal of Clinical Periodontology and the Journal of Periodontology.
