    Study Notes

    ASA Physical Status Classification

    • ASA Physical status 1 indicates a normal healthy client without systemic disease, experiencing little or no anxiety. Elective dental care can be performed.
    • ASA Physical status 2 represents a client with mild systemic disease or significant anxiety. Elective dental care is possible, but stress reduction measures are advised.
    • ASA Physical status 3 identifies a client with severe systemic disease that limits activity but is not incapacitating. While elective care can proceed, increased risk necessitates precautionary stress reduction.
    • ASA Physical status 4 categorizes a client with an incapacitating systemic disease posing a constant life threat. Elective dental care is not permitted until improvement to at least ASA class III occurs.

    ASA/MCS Medical Status Classification

    • ASA I MCS 0 classifies a client with no medical problems, indicating overall good health.
    • ASA II MCS 1A signifies a stable and controlled medical problem, with no expected adverse events and no need for dental treatment modifications.
    • ASA II MCS 1B is for clients with stable medical conditions where minor adverse events may occur, requiring possible dental treatment adjustments.
    • ASA II MCS 1C encompasses stable medical issues that could result in major adverse events, thus necessitating dental treatment modifications.
    • ASA III MCS 2A refers to clients with unstable/uncontrolled medical diseases, where no adverse events are anticipated, and no dental modifications are needed.
    • ASA III MCS 2B is for unstable/uncontrolled conditions expected to result in minor adverse events, leading to potential dental treatment modifications.
    • ASA III MCS 2C involves unstable medical conditions likely to cause major adverse events, which will require dental treatment modifications.
    • ASA IV/V MCS 3 denotes patients requiring continuous medical monitoring during any dental procedure due to the severity of their condition.
