the graying of the world's population is predicted to produce millions of individuals with systemic medical conditions that can affect oral health and dental treatment. (medscape.com)
The dental management of these medically compromised patients can be problematic in terms of oral complications, dental therapy, and emergency care. (medscape.com)
The dental history should also include questions related to current oral conditions such as periodontal disease or oral ulceration and past dental treatment and potential complications from prior intervention including treatment failure and the delivery of anesthesia or post-treatment medication.

Management1
Dental management of the medically compromised patient requires acquisition of a complete health history of the patient. (medscape.com)
Dose1
Beyond identifying the specific patient population for whom antibiotic prophylaxis is appropriate, special consideration should be given to the antibiotic dose prescribed to children, as it will vary according to the child's weight. (makeyousmile.net)
Clinical1
While these procedures have clinical benefits, they are not without risks, particularly related to radiation exposure. (netce.com)
Risk3
9 The AHA continues to recommend infective endocarditis prophylaxis "only for categories of patients at highest risk for adverse outcome while emphasizing the critical role of good oral health and regular access to dental care for all. (makeyousmile.net)
This is based on a review of scientific evidence, which showed that the risk of adverse reactions to antibiotics generally outweigh the benefits of prophylaxis for many patients who would have been considered eligible for prophylaxis in previous versions of the guidelines. (makeyousmile.net)
Taking or using antibiotics when they are not needed increases your risk of getting an infection later that resists antibiotic treatment. (healthjade.com)
Current2
The dental history should also include questions related to current oral conditions such as periodontal disease or oral ulceration and past dental treatment and potential complications from prior intervention including treatment failure and the delivery of anesthesia or post-treatment medication. (medscape.com)
These current guidelines support infective endocarditis premedication for a relatively small subset of patients. (makeyousmile.net)
Treatment5
the graying of the world's population is predicted to produce millions of individuals with systemic medical conditions that can affect oral health and dental treatment. (medscape.com)
The dental clinician needs to understand the potential complications that can occur as a consequence of dental treatment of a medically compromised patient and when pretreatment or post-treatment medication or emergency care is indicated. (medscape.com)
Such patients should be referred for medical assessment prior to dental treatment. (medscape.com)
In the patient with pre-existing disease, preparation for dental treatment should include determination of disease status. (medscape.com)
The recommended oral dosage in the treatment of antibiotic induced pseudomembranous enterocolitis is 125 to 500 mg every 6 hours for 7 to 10 days. (healthjade.com)
Patients2
The dental management of these medically compromised patients can be problematic in terms of oral complications, dental therapy, and emergency care. (medscape.com)
A major focus of this course is on the risks and average doses patients and clinicians incur when undergoing fluoroscopy procedures. (netce.com)
Patient2
For example, the patient with a significant bleeding problem or thrombocytopenia arising as a primary condition or secondary to medication, radiation, or leukemia is best managed in an in-patient environment where replacement of platelets can be provided before the procedure or afterwards if spontaneous bleeding occurs (eg, following a tooth extraction).

Dental management of the medically compromised patient requires acquisition of a complete health history of the patient. (medscape.com)
b Except for the conditions listed above, antibiotic prophylaxis is no longer recommended for any other form of congenital heart disease. (makeyousmile.net)
Congenital heart disease can indicate that prescription of prophylactic antibiotics may be appropriate for children. (makeyousmile.net)
