Obesity is to be acknowledged as a multiple-risk-factor syndrome for overall and oral health. Dentists should have sufficient knowledge about the signs, symptoms and diagnostic tests for obesity. This book is primarily for general dental practitioners and dental students. It contains abundant information of interest to periodontists, residents, and graduate students also. It is our belief that the dental care of the public is primarily the concern of the general dentist. The high incidence of obesity and the close relationship between obesity, periodontal and dental management makes this an important issue.
