Dentistry is a field that requires a practical approach to ensure the best possible care for patients with disabilities or who are medically compromised. A Practical Approach to Special Care in Dentistry provides a comprehensive and robust overview of special care dentistry, reflecting the most common compromised clinical conditions dentists will regularly encounter. The book covers more than 50 topics based on real-world clinical cases, focusing on two main areas: patients with disabilities and medically compromised patients.

The book adopts a problem-based learning approach, helping the reader to apply knowledge in a clinical case context. Each chapter begins with a case report that establishes the main risk factors related to the provision of dental treatment. This is followed by a practical and realistic set of adaptations for the reader to follow, aimed at minimizing the rate and severity of potential complications for their patients.

In addition to covering the treatment of patients with disabilities and medically compromised patients, the book also includes a thorough introduction to patients with disabilities, including physical disabilities such as cerebral palsy and epilepsy, as well as cognitive impairments such as Downs Syndrome. Comprehensive explorations of the treatment of medically compromised patients are provided, covering infectious diseases, endocrine diseases, hepatorenal disease, and cardiovascular disease. Practical discussions of other special patient situations, such as those with allergies, antiresorptive and antiangiogenic drugs, terminal patients, unhoused patients, and pregnant or breastfeeding patients, are also included.

A Practical Approach to Special Care in Dentistry is an essential resource for general dentists, undergraduate students of odontology, and graduate students of special care dentistry. It is also a must-read resource for dental specialists in special care dentistry, hospital odontology, geriatric odontology, or any other field that involves the care of patients with disabilities or medical conditions. By providing a comprehensive and practical approach to special care dentistry, this book helps dentists to deliver the highest quality care to their patients, regardless of their clinical circumstances.
