HDS 605 - Physical Diagnosis: Introduction to Family Medicine
Since dentistry shares with all health professionals a common obligation to insure the welfare of their patients, all practitioners have the responsibility of evaluating the capability of their patients to withstand and successfully tolerate the anticipated proposed treatment regimens. Because of the varied effects that systemic diseases have on dental procedures, as well as the possible effect of dental treatment on systemic health problems, there is a need for dentists to be properly trained in the evaluation of their patients. This course introduces clinical medicine and its relationship to dentistry. It covers the clinical physical signs, symptoms, and laboratory values of the various organ systems in both health and disease, and the application of this knowledge to patients in ambulatory care and hospital settings, and emphasizes the oral manifestations and dental treatment modifications required by the medically compromised patient.
