3. INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS CASE HISTORY?
Case history is define as the data concerning an
individual and his or her family and
environment ,including the individual medical
history that may be useful in analyzing and
diagnosing his or her case or for instructional
purpose.
4. PURPOSE OF THE CASE HISTORY
History taking is a clinical procedure.
Doctor should put the questions in a simple way
relieving the tension and anxiety of the patient
Should asked duration,mode of the development
Family history and medical history also asked to
the patient because many medical problems
associated with dental problems.
Collect necessary informations that give the
CORRECT DIAGNOSIS
5. NAME
While taking case history first question to be
asked is the name.
To register in the hospital record to remember
and recall the patient
If the patient is brought unconsciousness
6. AGE
Age is important in case history because certain
diseases accur in certain age groups.
Eg: eruption disorder
Pericorinitis
Viral infections
Sarcomas
7. SEX
Sex is important because certain diseases of
mouth accur in a particular sex
Pubertal gingivitis,pregnangingiviyis,menopausal
gingivitis will accur in females
Stomatitis nicotina palatine accur in male
Leukoplakia in smooking males
8. OCCUPATION
Certain occupation produce charecteritics oral
lesion.
Eg: 1 lead factory workers develop a blue line in
the gingivai i.e;Bartonion line
2 match factory workers developed necrosis of
soft tissues.
3 A notch will be seen in middle nentral incisor in
tailors
4 bakery workers develop multiple carius lesion
as the carbohydrates fumes accumulates on the
surface of the teeth
9. ADDRESS
Address is very important because we have to
recall the patient
Some time address will give clue for certain
diseases
Like flourosis
10. income
Poor income people will develop nutritional
deficiency
Poor oral hygiene
11. Chief complain
It is usually documented in the patient’s words.
The complain when started,where,exactly,how
started and the duaration.
After obtaining the chief complain ,the
examination process continued by obtaining a
dental history of present illness and olso asked
medical history that will help in diagnosis and
treament plan.
12. History of Present illness
A history of present illness should determine the
severity and urgency of the problem.
It is procedure in which each complain should be
explained about the origin , progress and
complications
If the patient complain of pain should asked
when it is started, how it started , type of pain
Pain is aggrevated during eating and drinking
13. PAST MEDICAL HISTORY
Medical history is important in planning the
treatment.
The following questions should be asked from
the patient:
Whether the patient has any previous systemic
disease
Whether he/she has hypertention and diabetic
Under any medication
Whether he/she has hospitalised
Any drug allergy
15. ASA PHYSICAL
CLASSIFICATIO
N
DESCRIPTION THERAPY MODIFICATION
ASA 1 A normal healthy patient none
ASA 2 Patient with mild systemic
disease
Possible stress reduction and
other modification as needed
ASA 3 Patient with severe systemic
disease that limit activity ,but is
not incapitating
Possible strict modification
stress reduction medical
consultation priorties
ASA 4 Patient with an incapitating
systemic disease that is constant
threat to life
Minimal emergency care in
office medical emergency
urged
ASA 5 A moribound patient who is not
expected to survive without the
opration
Treatment in the hospital is
limited to life support only for
example airway,hemorrhage
management
ASA 6 a declared brain dead patient
whose organs are being removed
for donor purpose
Not applecable
16. HYPERTENTION
It is one of the most common medical condition
Those receiving the mean systolic blood pressure
140mm hg and dystolic pressure 90mm hg they
have hypertention.
Prior to any dental treatment to check the B.P at
every visit for an invasive dental dental procedure
planned.
18. NORMAL SBP<120mm hg
DBP<80mm hg
All dental procedure can do
prehypertention SBP 120-139mm hg
Consult the physician routine dental
procedure recommended
STAGE 1 – HYPERTENTION SBP 140-159
mm hg DSB 90-99 mm hg
STAGE 2- HYPERTENTION SBP>160mm hg
DSB<100mm hg
19. ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASE
An impediment to the flow of blood, as in the
case of an artery that has become constricted,
will decrease the perfusion of oxygenated blood
to tissue or organs.When the reduction of
perfusion to the myocardium of the heart is
sufficient enough that the myocardial cells
weaken but do not die, a condition known as
angina.
20. ANGINA
Treatment for angina pectoris begins with a
thorough review of the medical history.
Patients who have been diagnosed with stable
angina pectoris usually are aware of the events
that will precipitate an angina attack.The stress
and anxiety that some patients experience during
dental treatment can be one such factor.
.
21. These patients usually have a prescription for
nitroglycerin, either as a sublingual metered
0.4 mg spray or a 0.3 mg sublingual tablet
that dissolves quickly.Therefore, patients
with a known history of angina pectoris
should be asked to bring their own
nitroglycerin tablets to the dental office.
Dentists should have nitroglycerin included in
their emergency kits .
22. ISCHEMIC HEART DISEASE
When coronary athersclerotic heart disease
become advanced to produced symptoms it is
referred to as ischemic heart disease
Treatment modification for patient morning
appointment,short appointment,profond LA ,oral
medication with an anxiolytic drug and adequate
pain management.
23. INFECTIVE ENDOCARDITIS
Dental management requires evalution of the
type of heart condition and risk of bacaterimia
from planned dental procedure.
Antibiotic prophylaxis should recommended for
patient with valvular heart diseases with highest
risk of patient
24. ANTIBIOTIC PROPHYLAXIS RECOMMENDED
High risk of adverse effects from infective endocarditis
All dental procedure that involve manipulation of gingival tissue
or periapical region of teeth of oral mucosa
Does not include routine LA through non infections through non
infected tissue

30. DIABETES
It is metabolic disorder,abnormality to
metabolise carbohydrates,protien,or due to
deficiency of insulin.
31. Dentists should discuss the type of diabetes,
compliance with prescribed medications and dietary
recommendations
problems with glycemic control, and acute and
chronic complications of the disease with all diabetic
patients before dental treatment begins.
Consulting a patient's physician before initiation of
dental treatment can dcrease the chance of a
diabetic emergency.
Diabetes-related emergencies in the dental setting
usually involve hypoglycemia (low blood glucose) or,
less frequently, hyperglycemia (elevated blood
glucose).
32. HYPOGLYCEMIA
Hypoglycemia occurs most frequently in type 1
diabetics but can also occur in type 2 diabetics.
When a normal dose of insulin or oral
hypoglycemic agent is taken prior to dental
treatment and the patient eats minimally or not
at all, blood glucose levels can plunge rapidly.
Symptoms of hypoglycemia can develop rapidly
and include anxiety, skin that is cool and moist,
sweating, confusion.
33. A glucometer provided by the patient or the
dental staff may be used to measure blood
glucose.
A conscious hypoglycemic patient may take fruit
juice, regular soda, or a glucose gel that can be
absorbed through the oral mucosa in order to
stabilize the blood glucose level.
After 15 minutes, the blood glucose should be
rechecked. If it has not returned to an acceptable
level (a concentration higher than 60 mg/dL),
another dose of glucose should be taken and the
levels rechecked in 15 minutes.
34. . After the level has reached at least 60 mg/dL, a
mixed snack can be provided .
Any remaining dental treatment should be
rescheduled, and the patient should be referred
to their physician for further evaluation
35. HYPERGLYCEMIA
hyperglycemia is a less frequent emergency issue
among diabetics
elevation in blood glucose among diabetics can lead
to an altered mental status, the odor of acetone on
the breath, blurred vision, excessive thirst and hunger,
rapid and deep breathing, cardiac arrhythmias, and in
severe cases, coma.
administration and dosage of insulin that is unique to
the patient's glycemic control goal,
physician should be contacted and EMS summoned
for appropriate treatment. Monitoring the airway,
breathing, and circulation along with providing
supplemental oxygen as needed may be necessary
until EMS arrives.
36. ASTHMA
It is chronic inflimatory respiratory disease
instructed the patient to bring
inhaler(bronchodilator) to each oppointment
reduced the anxiety and strees of the patient
Used plain LA
patient should be in semesupine position
Avoidance of rubber dam
Should not prescribed NSAID ‘S
37. RENAL DISEASE
it is irreversible reduction in the glomerular filteration
rate.
Dental treatment should performed on nondialysis
days,typically the day after dialysis
To investigate BT,CT,PCT
In dialysis patient increased tendency of bleeding
because of heparin due to abnormal function of
platelet
Antibiotic prophylaxis recommended for all patients
NSAID’S should be ovoided
38. If patient under steroids therapy
Under medication more than 2 weeks
Double the dosage on the day of treatment
To prevent adrenal crisis
39. SEIZURES
Seizures are a rare occurrence in the dental
setting but can occur, and the characteristic
convulsive movements of the limbs may
endanger the patient.
Epilepsy is a neurologic disease associated with
recurrent, spontaneous seizure activity.
seizures can occur in patients without a history
of epilepsy for a variety of reasons, including
brain tumors and withdrawal from alcohol,
narcotics, or benzodiazepines.
40. • Dental appointments should only proceed if a
patient has been compliant with prescribed
medication
• .This provides an opportunity to remove any
objects from the mouth that were placed for
dental treatment to prevent aspiration or injury.
• This phase can also provide time to administer
anticonvulsant medications, such as 0.5 to 2 mg
lorazepam sublingually
• Attempting intramuscular injections or the
placement of an intravenous line to administer
anticonvulsant medications can be difficult and
dangerous while the patient is seizing
41. • Nothing, including a bite block or cotton rolls,
should be placed in the mouth once the seizing
activity has begun.
• The patient should remain in a supine position in
the dental chair, and any dental instruments in
the field of operation should be moved away to
protect the patient from injury.
• Breathing is usually unaffected by seizure
activity, but recording vital signs may not be
possible. However, upon conclusion of the
seizures, some patients will be unconscious and
must have an evaluation of their airway,
breathing, and circulation.
42. PREGNANCY
Only few procedure contraindicated in pregnancy
safety precaution should be followed
Appropriate radiograph
second trimester preferred
Left lateral position recommended
43. ALLERGY WITH LA
Allergic reactions can occur upon the
administration of local anesthetics.
Some patients have allergies to the anesthetic
itself, but some patients will be allergic to sulfite
compounds
Antioxidants such as sodium metabisulfite or
potassium metabisulfite are used as stabilizers in
local anesthetic solutions that contain
vasoconstrictor.
44. The presence of a documented sulfite allergy or a
history of an allergic-type asthma attack should
prompt the clinician to utilize a local anesthetic
without a vasoconstrictor
45. SYNCOPE
Vasovagal syncope (or cardioneurogenic
syncope) occurs when an acute decrease in blood
pressure reduces the blood flow and subsequent
oxygen perfusion to the brain.
46. During the treatment patient fainted maintained
respiration and cardiac output and that
cardiopulmonary resuscitation
the use of aromatic ammonia to facilitate return to
consciousness can be used. After regaining
consciousness,
the patient may be too distraught to drive, and
arrangements should be made for
transportation, preferably to a physician's office.
47. EXTRA ORAL EXAMINATION
The patient must be examined for
asymetric,localised swelling ,changes in colour
Face
Jaws
Lip
Salivary gland
Lymph node
50. PULPAL DIAGNOSIS
INGLE introduced the term pulpalgia ie.pulpal
pain.
Today this term not been in used,its degree of
severity,pathilogical process it known as
reversible pulpitis and irreversible pulpitis.
51. NORMAL PULP
Pulp is symptom free and normally responsive to
vitality testing
52. Reversible pulpitis
Based on the subjective and objective findings.
Increased response to cold,lingering pain
Causes: incipient caries
root scaling
traumatic brushing
53. IRREVERSIBLE PULPITIS
Pulp no longer capable return to normal
Lingering pain
Causes: dental caries
CHRONIC HYPERPLASTIC PULPITIS
Also known as pulp polyp
Growth of pulp tissue
Seen younger patients
54. PULP NECROSIS
Complete death dental pulp
Due to persistance inflammation of pulp
Very painful
Causes: infected pulp
trauma
chemical irritation
55. APICAL DIAGNOSIS
NORMAL PERIAPICALTISSUES
Teeth with normal periapical tissue
APICAL PERIODONTITIS
inflammation in apical periodontium
Pain on percussion
On radiograph reveals radiolucency
59. CONCLUSION
Dental treatment is usually not associated with
the development of acute medical emergencies.
exacerbations of medical conditions or the
emergence of previously asymptomatic medical
problems can occur at any time during a dental
appointment.
The stress and anxiety that some patients
associate with dental treatment, especially when
pain control is inadequate, has been a
precipitating factor in many of these cases .
60. Listen to your patient…
the patient will give you
diagnosis
Thanking
