Gastrointestinal Disorders: Dental Implications
Welcome to our course on the dental implications of Gastrointestinal Disorders. Understanding gastrointestinal disorders is very important for dental professionals as these conditions can significantly impact oral health and the approach to dental treatments. Knowledge in this area ensures safe and effective patient management.
This course provides an in-depth exploration of common gastrointestinal disorders, their pathophysiology, and clinical manifestations. It highlights the ways in which these disorders can affect oral health and overall patient care.
The course focuses on describing the pathophysiology and clinical manifestations of key gastrointestinal disorders. It equips dental professionals to recognise and manage oral manifestations associated with these conditions.
We look into the modifications necessary for dental treatment plans when dealing with patients affected by gastrointestinal disorders, considering factors such as anaesthesia, infection control, and the management of compromised liver function or bleeding risks.
