Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) represents a group of diverse medical and health care systems, practices, and products that are not considered to be part of conventional medicine. Nevertheless, 83 million adults and 8.5 million children used these products and services in 2007 alone, spending almost $34 billion out-of-pocket for many products that have not been proven and, in fact, may be contraindicated. A review is used to raise awareness and concern among dental practitioners as they consider new and current patient medical histories. |
