The purpose of the course is to provide an overview and guidelines for treating medically compromised patients. Each section will provide a definition of the disease or disorder and pertinent information related to that condition including any necessary modifications to dental treatment (e.g., local anesthetic, nitrous oxide, pre-medication, and medical consults). The conditions reviewed in this course are not intended to be all inclusive, and are provided as a supplement to the diseases which were presented in, “Management of Patients with Chronic Diseases”. In addition, follow-up questions will be presented that should be asked when a positive response is indicated on the health history. This course is intended to be a helpful resource for oral healthcare students and professionals alike.
