Complications and treatment errors in periodontal therapy in medically compromised patients

Yago Leira et al. Periodontol 2000. 2023 Jun.

Abstract

Patients who are medically compromised may be at an increased risk of complications and treatment errors following periodontal therapy. A review of the evidence on the topic is presented, in relation to the type of complication reported, of periodontal treatment, and of patients' medical status. Further, a framework for risk assessment and appropriate treatment modifications is introduced, with the aim of facilitating the management of patients with existing comorbidities and reducing the incidence of treatment complications.

Keywords: complications; medically compromised; periodontal treatment.
