The ADA has developed a guide to help dentists deliver coordinated care for patients with chronic medical conditions.
The ADA Practical Guide to Patients with Medical Conditions provides references, images, and advice from 25 academicians and clinicians, according to the association.
The guide addresses 20 medical topics, including cardiovascular diseases, endocrine disorders, neurologic and psychiatric disorders, geriatric health and functional issues, HIV/AIDS, and medical emergencies. It includes more than 200 images, 75 tables, and numerous quick reference points in each chapter. A companion website provides downloadable images and tables, case studies, and a "webliography" with click-through links to online sources.
The book is $59.95 for ADA members and $89.95 for nonmembers.
