Question:
What is a medically compromised patient??
Answers:
A medically compromised patient is any person who has a medical condition that may be adversely affected by the dental procedure or that the medical condition may bring about an adverse condition of of the dental treatment.
It is not only the condition itself that is considered but the medications taken by the patient. Medications can affect the ability for blood to clot for instance.
Still on the subject of medications, drugs taken for medical conditions may affect drugs given for dental treatment. On the other hand drugs given for dental treatment may also affect drugs given for medical conditions.
