A systematic review investigating patient knowledge and awareness on the association between oral health and their systemic condition
Abstract Background The prevalence of the oral-systemic relationship has accounted for potentially preventable chronic conditions and morbidity worldwide. Health literacy is a large contributing factor. This systematic review investigates the knowledge and awareness of patients with major systemic c...
