Oral health in patients with heart rate disorder taking anticoagulants

Lomakina Maria Vitalievna

Demographic data from Russia indicate that a significant shift towards a regressive type of population structure is expected. Statistics show that the geriatric population is growing and life expectancy is projected to increase in the coming years. The elderly suffer from a significant number of comorbidities such as diabetes, hypertension, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and cerebrovascular disease. This category of patients requires special dental care and a deeper understanding of the complex interactions between oral diseases and systemic chronic diseases, as well as their pharmacological status. Oral diseases are closely related to systemic diseases, and poor oral health can exacerbate the effects of systemic diseases.
