The myriad of common and often underestimated, abnormal physical conditions
dentists cross paths with on a day-to-day basis in their dental chairs demand
a sharpened focus during treatment planning, delivery of care and periodontal
maintenance. Medically complex patients require clinicians with competent
insights that will deduce findings from patient medical histories and are willing
to collaborate with patients’ medical providers to provide optimal dental care.
