Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
An ageing population requires dental professionals to be aware of the oral effects of medications taken by their patients. This case study will present the challenges faced by the hygienist in the oral health management of a 79-year-old medically compromised patient over a 2-year period. The interrelationship between the ageing process, medical conditions and medications taken, and specific treatment modalities are considered. |
