DentalReach Evidence Review:
Review tobacco-control priorities, cessation support and the role of oral-health professionals in reducing tobacco-related disease and promoting prevention. The concept is best applied through a patient-specific pathway: confirm diagnosis, define the objective, compare alternatives, anticipate failure and specify maintenance.

This connection is most useful for comparing diagnosis, case selection and follow-up—not simply for navigation.
DentalReach Clinical Contributor:
Discuss expected benefit, uncertainty, alternatives, maintenance and the consequence of no treatment in plain language. This protects informed consent when evidence or predictability is limited.
