PATIENTS WITH SYSTEMIC
DISEASE
Dr. Saleh Bakry
Assistant Professor of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
2. ASA CLASSIFICATION FOR DETERMINATION OF MEDICAL
RISK (AMERICAN SOCIETY OF ANESTHESIOLOGIST)
1. ASA I: Normal healthy patient without systemic disease (green light to work).
Can tolerate stress involved in dental treatment.
Treatment modification Usually not necessary.
3. ASA CLASSIFICATION FOR DETERMINATION OF MEDICAL
RISK (AMERICAN SOCIETY OF ANESTHESIOLOGIST)
2. ASA II: Mild systemic condition or disease, who can perform normal activity without
distress (Well controlled Diabetic, Well controlled asthma, ASA I with anxiety).
Represent minimal risk during dental treatment.
Routine dental treatment with minor modifications:
Short early appointments
Antibiotic prophylaxis
Sedation
4. ASA CLASSIFICATION FOR DETERMINATION OF MEDICAL
RISK (AMERICAN SOCIETY OF ANESTHESIOLOGIST)
3. ASA III: Severe systemic disease limiting the activity but not incapacitating (stable
angina, 6 mos. Post – MI, 6 mos. Post – CVA, COPD)
Elective Dental Treatment is not Contraindicated.
Treatment Modification is Required:
Reduce Stress.

(AMERICAN SOCIETY OF ANESTHESIOLOGIST)
5. ASA V: Hospitalized patient not expected to survive more than 24 hours (End stage renal
disease, End stage hepatic disease, Terminal cancer, End stage infectious disease).
Elective treatment definitely contraindicated
Emergency care only to relieve pain
7. HOW COULD YOU REDUCE PERIOPERATIVE RISKS
1. MEDICAL CONSULTATION
Necessary in case of ASA IV and ASA V.
Give the physician as much information as possible.
2. ANXIETY REDUCTION PROTOCOL
Stress is the body response to any kind of demand or threat.
When stressed adrenal gland produce 0.28 mg of epinephrine/min. increase
heart rate and blood flow and increase respiration rate and blood glucose level.
8. HOW COULD YOU REDUCE PERIOPERATIVE RISKS
A. Moderate:
Try to hide their face.
Cold, sweaty palm.
Altered facial expression.
Bruxism.
B. Severe
Express their fears.
Tremors.
Tipping feet or fingers.
Fainting.
Increase in heart and respiratory
rate
2. ANXIETY REDUCTION PROTOCOL
RECOGNITION OF ANXIETY (STRESS):
9. HOW COULD YOU REDUCE PERIOPERATIVE RISKS
3. ANXIETY (STRESS) REDUCTION PROTOCOL

13. 1. CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE
Is defined as the inability of the myocardium to pump enough blood to satisfy the needs
of the body.
TREATMENT
Digitalis (Digoxin) used to increase heart contractility.
Some medication for management of CHF have adverse interaction with AAA drugs
(Analgesics, anesthetics, antibiotics)
14. 1. CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE
MANAGEMENT
1. Assess the medical risk.
2. Use anxiety-reduction protocol.
3. Avoid supine position.
4. Administer supplemental O2.
5. Provide profound local anesthesia and limit epinephrine use to 0.04 mg.
6. G.A should be avoided.
15. 1. CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE
MANAGEMENT
7. Avoid use with patient on digitalis:
Epinephrine increase contractility increase cardiac arrhythmia ventricular
fibrillation and death.
Any pressor amines (in gingival retraction cord or local hemostatic agent) to control
bleeding due to the presence of epinephrine.
NSAID including aspirin decrease renal clearance of digitalis increase serum
level of digitalis toxicity.
NSAID replace the digitalis decrease its absorption decrease its effect.
16. 1. CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE
MANAGEMENT
8. Use with patient on digitalis:
Plain anesthesia.
Acetaminophen (paracetamol) as analgesics.
Penicillin or cephalosporin or clindamycin as antibiotics.
17. 2. ANGINA PECTORIS
Narrowing or spasm of one more of the coronary arteries causing ischemia of the
myocardium.
PREDISPOSING FACTORS:
Fatigue.
Extreme stress.
Rich meal.
Subsides within 2–5 min after rest and the use of vasodilators.
18. 2. ANGINA PECTORIS
Characteristics of A P.:
Sudden onset of pain may be localized or may radiate to the arms, shoulder, or
neck.
Patient complains of substernal discomfort or feeling of fullness or pressure on
the chest.
19. 2. ANGINA PECTORIS
TYPES
STABLE ANGINA (ASA III) UNSTABLE ANGINA (ASAIV)
The last attack is more than 6 months Recent angina within 1 month or intervals between
attacks are several weeks (4-6 weeks)
Symptoms precipitated:
1. Activity
2. Fatigue.
3. Extreme stress.
4. Rich meal.
It occurs at rest or with minimal exertion
Respond to rest or administration of sublingual
nitroglycerin within 2-5 min.
It is severe and of new onset and occurs with a
crescendo pattern.
20. 2. ANGINA PECTORIS
MANAGEMENT
1. Patient Evaluation/Risk Assessment
Stable angina (ASA III).
Unstable angina (ASA IV).
2. Obtain medical consultation (ASA IV).
3. Use anxiety-reduction protocol.
4. Have nitroglycerin tablets readily available.
5. Provide profound local anesthesia and limit epinephrine use to .04 mg during a single
visit.
21. 2. ANGINA PECTORIS
MANAGEMENT
6. Levonordefrin is only 1/6th (15%) as effective as Epinephrine, therefore, using a ratio of
1:20,000 Levonordefrin is like using a ratio of 1:120,000 of Epinephrine.
7. Limit epinephrine use to 0.04 mg (2 carpules) for cardiovascular diseases.
8. Monitor vital signs and maintain verbal contact.
22. 2. ANGINA PECTORIS
IF PATIENT WITH STABLE ANGINA EXPERIENCES CHEST PAIN DURING DENTAL
TREATMENT:
1. Stop the procedure.
2. Administration of sublingual nitroglycerin (one dose every 5 minutes) up to maximum 3
doses until the pain relieved.
After 5 min. of the 1st dose, if there is still pain, measure the blood pressure:
If systolic less than 100 no sublingual tablet
If systolic more than 100 sublingual tablet and wait for 5 min.
23. 2. ANGINA PECTORIS
IF PATIENT WITH STABLE ANGINA EXPERIENCES CHEST PAIN DURING DENTAL
TREATMENT:
After another 5 min, measure the blood pressure:
If systolic less than 100 no sublingual tablet
If systolic more than 100 sublingual tablet and wait for 5 min.
After another 5 min repeat the cycle and maximum number of doses are 3 doses only
because more than 3 doses, the nitroglycerin severe vasodilation and severe
hypotension reflex tachycardia ischemic myocardial infarction.
24. 2. ANGINA PECTORIS
IF PATIENT WITH STABLE ANGINA EXPERIENCES CHEST PAIN DURING DENTAL
TREATMENT:
3. Administration of oxygen.
4. If attacks pass, the procedure can be continued after a painless rest of 10-15 min.
5. If the attack prolonged and nitrate don’t help MI is suspected give to the patient 250-325
mg of aspirin to chew while waiting for the ambulance.
6. Aspirin is the first aids of heart attack antiplatelet as MI is due to obstruction of
coronary artery due to the presence of clot which increase in size by aggregation of
platelets.
25. 3. MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
Obstruction of one more of the coronary arteries causing ischemia of the myocardium
SYMPTOMS OF MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION

pts.
Secondary hypertension caused by renal disease, adrenocortical insufficiency, C.N.S
lesion. This type accounts for 1/3 of hypertensive patients.
30. 4. HYPERTENSION
MANAGEMENT
1. Patient Evaluation/Risk Assessment.
Identify the hypertension stage I, II or III
If the SBP is ≥ 160 mm Hg or the DBP is ≥ 100 mm Hg obtain medical consultation.

III hypertension)
3. Use anxiety –reduction protocol.
4. Avoid rapid posture changes.
31. 4. HYPERTENSION
MANAGEMENT
5. Anesthesia:

limited to three cartridges (0.054 mg).
Stage III hypertension epinephrine should be limited to one to two cartridges of 1:
100,000 solutions (0.018 to 0.036 mg of epinephrine).
32. 4. HYPERTENSION
MANAGEMENT
6. The use of retraction cord with epinephrine and intraligamentary and intrabony injections
should be avoided in these patients.
7. The sublingual administration of nifedipine (Adalat) myocardial infarction or
cerebrovascular accident not recommended.
8. Immediate management of hypertension is required intravenous administration of
antihypertensive medication as furosemide (Lasix).
33. 5. PATIENT AT RISK OF INFECTIVE ENDOCARDITIS
This is defined as a microbial infection of the heart valves or the endocardium
In patients at risk of infective endocarditis the micro-organisms adhere to the damaged
areas of the heart valves forming platelet adhesions and crumbling vegetations of
platelets and fibrin that may be carried as emboli in the blood stream.
34. 5. PATIENT AT RISK OF INFECTIVE ENDOCARDITIS
DEGREE OF RISK:

8. Avoid prescribing NSAIDS.
9. Take hepatitis precautions during surgery.
52. 8. PATIENTS RECEIVING ANTICOAGULANTS
Today, the correct measurement of anticoagulation is based on the INR (International
Normalized Ratio)
INR = Patient's Prothrombin Time/Normal Prothrombin Time Õ Normal 1.0-1.3
Minor oral surgery Major oral surgery
INR ≥ 3.5 → significant bleeding ≥ 3.5 → significant bleeding
For surgery should be adjusted to ˂ 3.5 should be adjusted to ˂ 3
The most commonly used anticoagulant drugs are coumarin (warfarin) drugs and heparin
drugs, as well as anticoagulant derivatives of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin).
53. 8. PATIENTS RECEIVING ANTICOAGULANTS
COUMARIN DRUGS
Increase the prothrombin time to 2–2.5 times above the normal level (normal range:
11– 12 s).
So the dose of the anticoagulant should be reduced or even discontinued before
surgery, until the prothrombin time reaches the desired range (1.5 times the normal
level).
54. 8. PATIENTS RECEIVING ANTICOAGULANTS
HEPARIN DRUGS.
Heparin is usually only administered to hospitalized patients, because it is given
parenterally.
Its effect lasts approximately 4–8 h, but it may be prolonged for up to 24 h.
Heparin may be discontinued at least 4 h before the dental procedure.
ASPIRIN-CONTAINING COMPOUNDS (ASPIRIN).
Patients who take aspirin for anticoagulant treatment must discontinue its use at least
2–5 days before the surgical procedure and may continue it 24 h later.
55. 8. PATIENTS RECEIVING ANTICOAGULANTS
THE LABORATORY TESTS FOR PATIENTS UNDER ANTICOAGULANT TREATMENT:
Prothrombin time, for patients receiving coumarin drugs.
Partial thromboplastin time, for patients receiving heparin (except for low
molecular weight heparin).
Bleeding time and prothrombin time, for patients receiving salicylates.
56. 8. PATIENTS RECEIVING ANTICOAGULANTS
MANAGEMENT OF PATIENT RECEIVING ASPIRIN OR WARFARIN
1. Minor oral surgery + the patient’s INR is ˂ 3.5 no adjustment in the warfarin dosage.
2. Minor oral surgery + the patient’s INR is ˃ 3.5 the dosage be reduced to allow the
INR to fall to ˂ 3.5.
3. Major oral surgery + the patient’s INR ˃ 3 the dosage be reduced to allow the INR to
fall to ˂ 3.
4. Avoid all drugs that may cause bleeding or potentiate the anticoagulation action of
warfarin, such as aspirin and NSAIDs.
57. 8. PATIENTS RECEIVING ANTICOAGULANTS
MANAGEMENT OF PATIENT RECEIVING ASPIRIN OR WARFARIN
5. Use acetaminophen or metronidazole and erythromycin.
6. Avoid barbiturates and steroids antagonize the action of warfarin.
7. Apply topical hemostatic agents to control bleeding during and after surgery.
8. Once no significant complications (bleeding, infection, poor healing) has been
observed the patient resume his usual warfarin dosage.
58. 9. THYROID DYSFUNCTION
The thyroid gland secretes 3 hormones Triiodothyronine T3, Thyroxin T4, and Calcitonin.
These thyroid hormones are controlled by hypothalamus pituitary thyroid feedback

73. MANAGEMENT OF DIABETES
1. Controlled type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients usually can undergo all dental
treatments without special precautions.
2. Medical Consultation.
3. Presurgical diet and preoperative insulin intake is not changed.
4. Dental procedures are best performed in the morning (1-3hrs after breakfast and
insulin usual dose).
5. Use anxiety-reduction protocol.

74. MANAGEMENT OF DIABETES
7. Use the smallest concentration of epinephrine in L.A solution (1:100.000 at least) or
preferably corpasil or octapressin since their effects are only 1/10 of epinephrine in
raising the blood sugar level.
8. Prophylactic antibiotic administration for a day preoperatively and 2-3 day
postoperatively if massive surgery is to be performed.
9. Mild analgesics and sedatives containing acetaminophen (Tylenol) can be used.
10. Corticosteroids must be avoided because of their glycogenolytic action.
75. 11. ADRENAL INSUFFICIENCY
(Addison's disease, patients under steroid therapy)
The adrenal gland cortex secretes two principal hormones: Aldosterone and
cortisol.
Aldosterone is involved in the maintenance of sodium, potassium and fluid levels.
Cortisol is the main glucocorticoid of the body.
Primary adrenal insufficiency (Addison's disease) is caused by atrophy or
destruction of the adrenal glands by infection (TB) or malignancy.
Secondary adrenal insufficiency is caused by deficiency of ACTH from chronic
administration of steroids.
76. 11. ADRENAL INSUFFICIENCY
(Addison's disease, patients under steroid therapy)
PREDISPOSING FACTORS:
Following sudden withdrawal of steroid hormones.
Following stress whether physiologic or pshycologic.
Following sudden destruction of pituitary gland.
Following injury to both adrenal glands by trauma, infection.
RULE OF TWO’S:
Adrenocortical suppression should be suspected if patient received steroid therapy through
two of the following methods:
In a dose of 20 mg or more of cortisone or its equivalent.
Via oral or parenteral route for continuous period of 2 weeks or longer.
Within 2 years of dental therapy.
77. 11. ADRENAL INSUFFICIENCY
(Addison's disease, patients under steroid therapy)
MANAGEMENT
1. Patient Evaluation/Risk Assessment

4. Treatment modification
Supplemental steroids the usual morning corticosteroid dose should be taken on
the day of surgical procedures.
Instruct patient to bring current medication inhaler to every appointment.
Chair position: Semisupine or better upright position
Avoid L.A containing epinephrine or levonordefrin because of sulfite preservative that
cause of allergic-type reactions.
Avoid aspirin or other NSAIDs Ô precipitate asthma attack.
82. 13.LIVER DISEASE
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE TO PREVENT CROSS INFECTION
1. Using two pairs of disposable gloves.
