    Area of Science:

    • Dental Medicine
    • Patient Safety
    • Medical Risk Assessment

    Background:

    • Many patients appear healthy but may face significant risks during dental procedures.
    • A robust health status should not be assumed in the general patient population.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline essential steps for dentists to mitigate patient hazards in the dental office.
    • To emphasize the importance of proactive medical evaluation for high-risk dental patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Taking a comprehensive medical history.
    • Performing a targeted medical examination.
    • Ordering and interpreting laboratory tests as needed.
    • Consulting with medical professionals when necessary.
    • Evaluating all gathered data for treatment planning.
