Unlocking the Mystery: Oral Varices and Their Connection to Systemic Conditions

About the live stream:

Oral varicosities (OV) are widespread and become more prevalent with age. However, these seemingly innocuous findings in the oral cavity hold hidden secrets that may reveal valuable insights into an individual’s overall health. Beyond their superficial appearance, OV has been linked to various medical conditions, including chronic venous insufficiency of the lower limbs, portal hypertension, and specific cardiovascular diseases such as arterial hypertension. As we delve into this fascinating topic, we’ll explore how OV might serve as a valuable tool for primary health population screening. Welcome to our livestream, where we embark on a journey to unravel the potential of oral varices as an indicator of systemic conditions.
