§16§§Aimed at the practising clinician, this book, now in its third edition, provides a welcome detailed overview of the medical and surgical conditions that affect patients seen in everyday dental practice. With patients surviving longer due to medical advances, dentists are increasingly faced with complex conditions and possibly some that they have not previously encountered. Here, treatment advice, drug interactions, and the impact of general medical and surgical conditions on treatment planning in the dental context are all covered with a comprehensive but practical approach. In addition to chapters on the implications for dental practice of disorders of each of the different body systems and immunological and infectious diseases, important aspects in particular patient groups, including cancer patients, the elderly, and the paediatric population, are identified. Overall, this book provides dentists with a practical, logical, and convenient guide of great value, helping to upda §16§te knowledge and foster improved patient care.§§ §04§History and Examination in the Clothed Patient in the Dental Surgery.- The Cardiovascular System and Dental Practice.- The Respiratory System and Dental Practice.- The Gastrointestinal System and Dental Practice.- Neurological Disorders and Dental Practice.- Liver Disease and Dental Practice.- The Endocrine System and Dental Practice.- Renal Disorders and Dental Practice.- The Musculoskeletal System and Dental Practice.- Haematology and Patients with Bleeding Problems and Dental Practice.- Metabolic Disorders and Dental Practice.- Skin Disorders and Dental Practice.- Psychiatry and Dental Practice.- Cancer, Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy and Dental Practice.- The Paediatric Patient and Dental Practice.- The Older Patient and Dental Practice.- Medical Emergencies in Dentistry.- Infections and Infection Control in Dental Practice.- Immunology and the Dental Practitioner.§ §13§§"General Medicine and Surgery for Dental Practitioners is a book useful to all practitioners, helping them to better recognize and treat patients with certain conditions that can lead to true complications in combination with dental treatments.
