Specific diseases and medications may considerably influence the delivery of oral care and the course of dental therapy. The purpose of this literature review is to examine the relationship between oral anticoagulant medication and dental treatment. Electronic and manual searches were conducted for clinical studies in the English literature for the years 1988-2010. The review process provided a total of 110 pertinent literature references, out of which 38 studies dealt with oral anticoagulants and dental treatment. Different treatment strategies relative to dental periprocedural anticoagulation regimens have been identified, and their accompanying thromboembolic and bleeding risks are being presented and discussed. Regarding to what extent a safe and successful dental treatment in patients on anticoagulant medication is feasible, the level of evidence is lacking. Until high-level data are provided, an individualised treatment approach after consultation with the physician of the patient is highly recommended.
Der 57-jährige bis anhin gesunde Patient entwickelte zehn Stunden nach Einnahme von Amoxicillin ein makulopapulöses Exanthem in der Leiste, gluteal und in der Rima ani. Die Beugeseiten der Gelenke waren diskret betroffen. Die Haut war induriert, der Patient klagte über Juckreiz. Er präsentierte das Bild eines «Baboon-Syndroms», einer Sonderform einer Medikamentenallergie, die erstmals 1984 durch Andersen so benannt wurde. Es ist im Vergleich zum morbilliformen, Aminopenicillin induzierten Exanthem eher unbekannt und kann in seiner ungewöhnlichen Lokalisation differentialdiagnostische Schwierigkeiten bereiten. Im vorliegenden Fall wurde eine weitere allergologische Abklärung durchgeführt, um die «Penicillin-Allergie» zu spezifizieren.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
