Lecture 2 Modern Scope of Dental Medicine

Лекция 2: Современные Сфера стоматологии

I'd like to explain the Modern Scope
of Dental Medicine.
And understanding truly the dental-medical
collaboration that's necessary.
Oral health care is actually
a component of overall general health.
It is truly a part of the whole.
The oral cavity doesn't
exist outside of the body.
And therefore, there is this bidirectional
relationship that needs to be appreciated.
The oral cavity can affect general health.
For example,
diabetes might be much more difficult to
control in a patient who has oral disease.
Chemotherapy, likewise,
may have a significant impact
on the patient's oral cavity.
In fact,
in many cases chemotherapy might be
limited by the pain associated
with Mucositis in the oral cavity.
When you're managing a patient dentally,
you really need to understand
their medical history.
Those patients that
are medically compromised,
often will have altered treatment plans
based upon their medical condition.
So it's very important that
the medical provider and
the dental provider communicate.
In this graphic patient
health is associated with
primary medical care as well
as primary dental care, and
of course preventive care,
both in medicine and in dentistry.
Specialty care will occur, it's this
circle of interaction and collaboration.
Between physicians and among physicians,
and between dentists and
among dentists, and
between physicians and dentists,
that have the patient's health
as the primary goal in mind.
This concept of oral health care
being a part of general health
will be further elaborated
throughout this course.
