This text addresses the relationship between nutrition and oral and dental diseases and disorders, as well as the oral manifestations of systemic disease. It also examines the relationship between oral tissues and nutrients as well as diet. Illnesses involving the head, neck and oral cancers combined with nutritional intervention strategies are given ample attention. Oral and systemic diseases and oro-facial pain syndromes are addressed via their relationship and impact on nutritional status. The impact of medications and treatments on the oral cavity and nutrition status as well as management strategies are also presented in an easy to follow format. Cutting edge research is presented on the individual antioxidants, trace elements, polyphenols and other nutrient substrates, as well as on oral/health diseases. The book completes its well-rounded review with links between compromised immunity, oral infections and systematic diseases.
