Dental Treatments for Oral Rehabilitation in Medically Compromised Patients

Patients with systemic conditions such as cancer, autoimmune diseases (e.g., systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren’s syndrome), or hematologic disorders require an interdisciplinary and medically informed dental approach. Treatment must be tailored to their immunologic, pharmacologic, and systemic health status.

⦁ Antibiotic prophylaxis when medically indicated.
⦁ Non-surgical periodontal therapy, including scaling and root planing.
⦁ Topical fluoride applications for patients undergoing cancer therapy or experiencing xerostomia.
⦁ Minimally invasive restorative treatments to preserve tooth structure and reduce trauma.
⦁ Use of biocompatible and metal-free materials when sensitivities are present.
⦁ Removable or fixed prostheses adapted for fragile oral mucosa or dry mouth conditions.
⦁ Intensive oral hygiene education and frequent preventive maintenance visits.
⦁ Monitoring of oral side effects from chemotherapy, radiation, or immunosuppressive drugs (e.g., mucositis, osteonecrosis, candidiasis).
⦁ Pain management and comfort-focused care during all procedures.
