Srishty Chalana, Shantanu Jain, Nikhil Marwah
Life threatening emergencies can occur to anyone, anywhere and anytime for instance they can occur in dental practice to patient, doctor, members of the dental clinic staff or a person accompanying a patient. Although the occurrence of life threatening emergencies in dental offices is infrequent, certain factors can contribute to the likelihood of such incidents. These include- The increasing number of older persons seeking dental care - The increasing use of drugs in dentistry - Medical conditions of the patient- Special childAlthough any medical emergency can develop in the dental office, some are seen more frequently than others. Many such situations are stress related or involves preexisting conditions that are exacerbated when patients are placed in stressful environments. Stress induced situations include vasodepressor syncope and hyperventilation, whereas preexisting medical conditions that can be exacerbated by stress include most acute cardiovascular emergencies, bronchospasm (asthma) and seizures. The effective management of pain and anxiety in the dental office is therefore essential in the prevention and minimization of potentially catastrophic situation.
