Medical Relevance in Dentistry: A Comprehensive Guide

As elaborated by Markus Trltzsch, Philipp Kauffmann, and Matthias Trltzsch, the importance of medical knowledge in dentistry lies in the fact that dentists are among the most frequently visited healthcare professionals by patients. This unique position allows dentists to play a crucial role in the early detection of internal medical conditions, while also considering the impact of existing general health issues on dental treatment.

The increasingly ageing population, accompanied by multimorbidity and polypharmacy, further solidifies the significance of medical knowledge in everyday dental practice. This book, edited by three experts with dual approval in dentistry and human medicine, provides the necessary knowledge for dental practitioners to navigate the complexities of medical challenges in their daily work.

Practical Application and Problem-Oriented Approach

The book covers symptoms that arise during treatment and presents problem- and action-oriented solutions. Each chapter is designed to stand alone, allowing readers to focus on specific topics of interest. This structure enables dental professionals to easily access and apply the knowledge in their practice.

A concluding chapter on maintaining the health and well-being of the dental team rounds out the book, ensuring comprehensive support for dental professionals in their daily routines.

Expert Insights and Practical Concepts

The book’s content builds upon contributions from the journal Quintessenz Zahnmedizin (section “General Medicine”) and has been compiled by the editors with a focus on practical application. The result is a valuable resource that bridges the gap between medical knowledge and dental practice.
