It is important to understand how people perceive the impact of oral disease on their quality of life. Oral health quality of life (OHQoL) is a relatively new but rapidly growing notion. The concept of OHRQoL is particularly significant to three areas- clinical practice of dentistry, dental research and dental education. There are different approaches to measure OHRQoL; the most popular one uses multiple item questionnaires. OHRQoL should be the basis for any oral health programme development. Moreover, research at the conceptual level is needed in countries where OHRQoL has not been previously assessed, including the Eastern Mediterranean countries.Keywords

Evidence from epidemiologic studies suggests that periodontal infections are independently associated with subclinical and clinical atherosclerotic vascular disease (AVD). Entry of oral bacteria and/or bacterial products into the bloodstream is thought to be one of the key initiators of biological events that link oral infections to AVD. Transient bacteremias are common after dental proce¬dures, regardless of periodontal status, occurring frequently after mastication or after personal oral hygiene. The incidence and intensity of these bacteremias correlate positively with the extent and severity of periodontitis. Analysis of limited data from interventional epidemiologic studies suggests that treatment of periodontal infections results in lower levels of systemic inflammation and favorable effects on subclinical markers of atherosclerosis.Keywords

Probiotics literally means 'for life'. They are live microorganisms (in most cases, bacteria) that are similar to beneficial microorganisms found in the human gut. They are also called "friendly bacteria" or "good bacteria." Probiotics are available to consumers mainly in the form of dietary supplements and foods. They can be used as complementary and alternative medicine. This review describes current knowledge on probiotics bacteriotheraphy from the general health as well as oral health perspective.Keywords

Economic evaluation provides a method of systematically comparing the costs and outcomes of alternative health care programmes. It is now used increasingly to provide planning information .Economic evaluation is necessary to produce the best health care and maximum benefit with minimum cost to the community based on available resources. Health economics is a branch of Economics concerned with issues related to scarcity in the allocation of health and health care. A key concept of health economics is the opportunity cost of a programme, which can be described as the value of the resource when it is put to its best alternative use. Therefore, health economics is about resource management -what is affordable and desirable and what is not. As the health of the population will not be improved just by spending more money on health care, the understanding of health economics is essential to properly implement the economic policies for the health care enhancements. Hence, the policy makers and the dental personnel should have adequate knowledge regarding the same for providing better health services.Keywords
