Course Descriptions and Learning Objectives

Dental care and dental treatment are paramount to health. However, the provision of routine dental care can become quite complicated for patients with medical comorbidities and special health care needs, with increasing consideration the more complex the patient’s medical history. The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and chronic infectious diseases, to name a few, has necessitated increased communication of dentists with physicians, as well as increased medical involvement by the dentist. The aging population, as well as growing population of patients with special needs (intellectual and developmental disabilities) has contributed to the increased medical management of patients for dental care.

Many medications for these diseases also carry significant dental implications. Appropriate and routine oral and dental care contributes to improved health outcomes, but this care must be rendered in a manner that is safe and attentive to patients’ systemic health concerns. Such considerations include necessity for antibiotic prophylaxis, pre-procedural lab value verification, evaluation for patient optimization, and reduction of post procedural complications. Patients may also require modifications to medication regimens. We will discuss the implications of certain conditions and medications on dental management and treatment, potential concerns and complications from these dental treatments, and methods to reduce these complications

Learning Objectives:

Critically assess a patient’s medical history and assess need for further evaluation or information.
Describe the implication of several common medical diagnoses on patients’ physiology and function.
Explain the oral and dental implication and effect of several common medical diagnoses.
Identify current clinical guidelines for antibiotic prophylaxis and antibiotic prescribing for dental patients and dental conditions.
Describe how to communicate with the medical team to optimize a patient for dental treatment.
Identify and avoid dental treatment complications by better understanding a patient’s medical history.
List ways to manage patients who have difficulty tolerating dental treatment
List modifications and accommodations that can be made to provide appropriate and clinically sound care for complex patients
