Medical conditions of importance in dental practice.
Good dental practice requires that a dental practitioner be aware of those medical conditions that might present first with oral manifestations and those for which special considerations are required before dental treatment is rendered. In view of the rapid changes in the understanding and treatment of disease, it is essential that a dentist be current in his knowledge of medicine and be aware of the established and accepted methods of patient management.
