title: Sedation in practice. 4: The use of sedation for the medically compromised patient.
abstract: This, the fourth paper in a series of uses of sedation in general dental practice, reviews the use of sedative techniques for patients who have medical conditions which will affect their ability to co-operate with dental treatment or which may be aggravated by the stress of treatment. Advice is given on a range of other conditions which may present as incidental findings when the patient's medical history is being taken.
