“…Medication use is frequent among adults receiving dental care. In this study, a large majority (97.7%) of patients reported taking medications, which is notably greater than the percentage reported by Miller et al . and Brindley et al .…”

“…(42.3% and 26% respectively). In this study, the average numbers of medications reported to be taken per patient were 7.49 in phase 1 and 6.14 in phase 2, which are also greater than the 0.68 drugs per person reported in the study by Miller et al …”

“…The most common types of potential adverse effects of dental importance associated with medication use were xerostomia (15.8%), gastroesophageal irritation (12.9%) and abnormal bleeding (11.2%). The authors emphasised the need for dentists to be aware not only of the medications taken by their patients but also of the potential effects and drug interactions that can result from their therapies. Similar findings were reported in a study from five general dental practices in England, where Brindley et al .…”

“…5 A drug interaction may be additive, synergistic, or antagonistic in effect, and a potentially dangerous outcome is possibile. 12 However, these studies only assessed prescription medication and assumed that the medication history of each patient was accurate. 1,5,7-10 A study by Brindley et al found that over a quarter of the patients (1,103 total patients recruited) across five general dental practices in England over a five-month time frame were taking a systemic medication, many of which could have ramifications for the OHCP.…”

An accurate medication history allows the oral health care provider (OHCP) to evaluate a patient's overall health and disease status, as well as assess the effect medications may have on dental treatment and oral health. It has been previously documented that dental patients do not always report an accurate medication list. The aims of this study were to determine dental patients' perceptions regarding the importance and likelihood of accurately disclosing prescription, over-the-counter (OTC), and herbal/supplement medications to their OHCP. A voluntary patient survey was administered from October 2015 through March 2016 to new dental patients at the Creighton University School of Dentistry student-operated clinic. Of 300 surveys distributed, 217 were found to be complete for inclusion in the evaluation (response rate 72.3%). Of the responding patients, 75.6%, 69.1%, and 63.6% reported believing it was very important to inform their dentists of their prescribed, OTC, and herbal/supplement medications, respectively. Additionally, 80.7%, 71.4%, and 62.7% reported that they always informed their dentists of all their prescribed, OTC, and herbal/supplement medications, respectively. Although the majority of these patients agreed on the importance of reporting medication information to their OHCP and reported doing so, this survey found room for improvement, especially regarding OTC and herbal/supplement medications. It is imperative that both the pharmacist and OHCP educate dental and pharmacy students to inform patients of the importance of providing an accurate and complete medication history to ensure the safest possible delivery of their dental treatment.

Today more and more patients with bleeding disorder come to our office for treatment. The number of patients with therapeutic anticoagulation is growing steadily. Discontinuation of this therapy can often be crucial. On the other hand are oralsurgical procedures extremely sensitive to bleeding due to the constant presents of saliva with its high fibrinolytic activity.The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of a surgical diode ( wavelength 8 1 0 urn) laser as accessory tool in the treatment ofpatients with hemorrhagic diathesis. Enclosed in the study were 123 patients with:. Coumarintherapy, a Quick test ratio of I 5-25% . More than 300mg ofASS /die . Hemophilia, a factor activity under 35% . Morbus Werihof with less than 30000 thrombocytes 179 Surgical procedures: . Tooth extraction 86% . Apexectomy 3% . Tumorexcision 9%. Curettage and flapsurgery 1% . Gingivectomy 1%All procedures were laser-assisted with a diode laser emitting 8 1 Onm. The glass fibers used were depending on the procedures either 200, 400 or 600micron. No coagulating agents or tissue adhesives were used in addition. The postoperative outcome and complication rates were compared to substitution therapy and tissue adhesives. Laserassisted treatment ofthese patients shows a high predictability and success rate leaving out side effects of drugs and human cryoprecipitates. Postoperative impairment is diminished.
