In todays' evolving healthcare landscape, dentists play a crucial role in the management of medically complex patients. Providing comprehensive and compassionate care requires an understanding of each patient's needs, including any related medical conditions. This webinar series will explore a number of topics aimed at giving practical advice for dentists to navigate the challenges of treating patients with diverse medical needs in dental practice.

Learning outcomes

As dental professionals, it is crucial to understand the impact of bleeding disorders, liver diseases and antithrombotic medications on our patient care. In this webinar, we'll explore common bleeding disorders such as Haemophilia and von Willebrand disease and ways to provide a holistic care; along with how liver dysfunction can affect coagulation, drug metabolism and immunosuppression. We'll also discuss the implications of antithrombotic drugs such as aspirin, warfarin and newer agents on dental procedures. By the end of this webinar, you'll have a better understanding of how to manage patients with these conditions and ensure safe, effective dental treatments in your practice.
