Medical Problems in Dentistry
The GSYHTA are running a day’s lecture with Professor StJohn Crean from the University of Lancashire at St Pierre Park Hotel on Friday 28th March ‘25 from 8.45am until 4.30pm.
Learn how to navigate those complicated medical histories.
The aim of this lecture is to provide the members of the clinical dental team with a deeper insight into common medical and pharmacological issues they will encounter daily with their patients. The material covered will hopefully increase their awareness of the potential complications and implications for their practice moving forward. The hope is that attendees can understand how to risk assess these conditions in terms of the patients’ expected outcomes. This will prepare colleagues to engage in informed discussions around material risks as expected since the Montgomery ruling in 2015.
Aims and Objectives
By the end of the session learners should be able to:
Understand the common medical conditions and pharmacological treatments they will encounter on a regular basis in dental practice
Discuss the possible implications and complications of these conditions and how they may affect their discussions and subsequent approach to these patients.
Formulate individualised, written care or treatment plans for patients according to their individual circumstances, medical history, needs and selected treatment options.
Be able to obtain, interpret and record an accurate history that incorporates appropriate dental, medical (including medication history and allergies), social, demographical, cultural, nutritional, psychological and genetic factors.
Recognise features of systemic disease which can be noted on patients attending a dental surgery. This should include oral features.
To develop a system of learning to maintain knowledge, understanding and impact of the rapidly growing field of medicine
