Sinopsis

Medical Problems in Dentistry has become established as the foremost guide for all members of the oral health care team, providing up-to-date information on all the factors that may impinge upon the dental care of patients with systemic disease or on drugs. Extensively updated throughout, this new edition provides information covering a wide range of areas in the developing specialty of Special Needs Dentistry, as well as newly relevant areas such as imported exotic diseases and aspects of transcultural health. An understanding of the possible hazards of operative intervention in patients suffering from each of the conditions discussed provides valuable guidance for every dental practitioner - especially relevant in the face of the growing risk of litigation. Medical Problems in Dentistry is an essential reference for all dental undergraduates, postgraduates on vocational training or studying for the Fellowship or Masters courses, hospital and university dental staff, and for conscientious general dental practitioners, hygienists and nurses who wish to keep abreast of changes in the medical scene.

Reseña del editor

An understanding of a wide range of medical problems was already vital in the provision of oral health care when the first edition of this book was published more than 15 years ago. Since that time the population in the developed world has aged, new diseases have contributed to an increasing cohort of persons with significant health problems who now survive longer, and some dental procedures, such as dental implants, have been introduced into clinical practice.
