ADA PRACTICAL GUIDE TO PATIENTS WITH MEDICAL CONDITIONS BEST SE LLE R The ADA Practical Guide to Patients with Medical Conditions uses a three-pronged approach to discuss patients' medical conditions and potential dental complications: a background of the condition; medical management; and dental management. Edited by Lauren L. Patton, D.D.S., and written by a team of over 25 of today's leading dental professionals and clinicians, this valuable guide includes over 200 color images, more than 75 tables, and countless quick reference points to assist you in providing the safest and most comprehensive dental care possible. The accompanying companion website offers downloadable images and case studies. From cardiovascular diseases to substance abuse disorders, each condition has been covered concisely, giving you the most important information. Chapters contain a description of the disease, pathogenesis, coordination of care between the dentist and patient. This book uses the concepts of Key Questions to Ask the Patient and Key Questions to Ask the Physician to help guide the dental team member's conversations aimed at risk assessment, supporting safe management practices, and facilitating dental medical care coordination. These "prompt questions" prepare the dentist to make the most out of the consultation phone conversation with the patient's physician, allowing informed decision making that can guide dental care delivery to meet the health needs of the individual patient.
