An increasingly younger biological age

In recent decades, the achievements of science and the progress of medicine have contributed significantly to extending the average life span. Once, at the age of 65, one entered by convention in the third age; today this border is no longer so clear and the age of registry coincides increasingly rarely with the biological one.

With longer life expectancy, however, there is an increased risk of suffering from pathologies typical of senility such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, which have a strong correlation with mouth health. In this phase of life also the health of the mouth must be monitored with particular attention, because the oral cavity can become a sort of mirror of general health: the sudden increase in inflammations and the onset of unusual phenomena (for example, deep caries never previously appeared) can constitute a wake-up call and lead to more in-depth clinical investigations. These signs suggest that the composition of the bacterial load, naturally present in the mouth, has changed and has become more aggressive due to factors that need to be investigated. The change may depend on the regular intake of drugs or be related to the onset of systemic diseases that lead, among other things, to changes in the tissues of the oral cavity.

The goal of the Silver Project is to help identify, through a careful study of the oral cavity, any pathologies in the initial phase, also thanks to a preventive activity that helps the patient to maintain his psychophysical balance over time.
