What is the relevance of a patient’s
medical history to his or her
periodontal care?
Many aspects of a patient’s medical history may be particularly
relevant to his or her periodontal care. These are discussed
further in subsequent chapters but may include the
following:
• Medical problems can increase susceptibility to
periodontal diseases (e.g., diabetes and HIV) and may, in
whole or in part, explain the particular clinical
presentation and disease severity.
• Medical problems can have periodontal and other oral
manifestations (e.g., leukaemia and mucocutaneous
disorders).
• Prescribed and nonprescribed medications can have oral
and periodontal side effects (e.g., calcium channel
blocker or phenytoin).
• Is periodontal infection a risk factor for systemic diseases
or conditions that affect overall health? There is
emerging scientific data on the association of
periodontal disease with common systemic medical
problems such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes,
osteoporosis, and low-birth-weight infants. Future
targeted anti-inflammatory therapies for patients with
periodontal disease may modulate inflammation and,
hence, lower risk for systemic conditions.
• Particular existing or previous medical conditions or
medications may need specific precautions to be taken
to avoid complications during or after treatment (e.g.,
antibiotic prophylaxis and patients on certain
medications such as anticoagulants or
bisphosphonates).
• Treating certain conditions may present additional risk to
the dental team (e.g., communicable diseases) and may
alter the way treatment is provided (e.g., not using
ultrasonic instrumentation to avoid producing aerosol).
