Greetings! The next session of #RheumJC will be on Thursday, March 31, 2016, where we will be discussing a recent meta-analysis looking at a potential environmental link between periodontal disease and rheumatoid arthritis titled “Hand to Mouth: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Association between Rheumatoid Arthritis and Periodontitis” by Fuggle, NR, et al. This promises to be a lively discussion so we hope you can join.
