Objective Is there evidence in these statements?? Can there be presence of such commonalities between the NCDs and Oral Disease? This is required by the policy makers for integrating Oral health into the NCD promotion programs Petersen PE, Bourgeois D, Ogawa H, Estupinan-Day S, Ndiaye C.

Data collection Interview with Physician Oral diseases and its risk factors MRD Records Healthcare facility survey of a representative sample of public sector institutes offering oral care. Survey of a sub-sample of pharmacies in the state Key Informant Interviews (KII) with dentists employed in these centers and office bearers of professional associations related to oral care in Kerala for obtaining secondary data. By means of Right To Information Act (RTI) from the central and state governments Patient interview Degree of agreement of the common risk factors with the oral diseases and the NCDs, using Cohen’s kappa

CONCLUSION There is common risk factors between the Oral disease and NCDs but association appears is weak Biological plausibility of these association needs to explored Clinically, both the dentists and physicians can work in tandem to help alleviate the risk factors. Since, the present study was able to obtain an agreement with most risk factors being common to both NCDs and oral diseases, we were able to prove that NCDs shares certain risk factors with oral diseases. Hence, the following suggestions are put forth: 1. An integrated surveillance of the risk factors is proposed. The present day health promotion activities or preventive measures, aimed at isolated diseases will not bear any fruits! A more horizontal approach encompassing all the NCDs and oral diseases by integrating NCDs with oral diseases could avail positive results. 2. Oral disease prevention programs can be combined with the NCD prevention programs. 3. Clinically, both the dentists and physicians can work in tandem to help alleviate the risk factors. Dentists can assess the presence of the common risk factors, counsel the patient and refer to the concerned physician. 4. Government policies can promote a collaborative and collective approach by the dentists and physicians.
