Study Notes

Diabetes and Hypertension in Dental and Orthodontic Treatment

Pregnant patients with diabetes require insulin therapy during the second and third trimester, which should be discontinued after placenta removal.
Complications of diabetes include hyperglycemia, ketoacidosis, hypoglycemia, and up to 9% fetal death in pregnancy-related diabetes.
Good diabetic control and achieving normoglycemic state can prevent many complications of the disease.
Oral manifestations of diabetes include xerostomia, oral candidiasis, impaired wound healing, and periodontal disease.
Orthodontic treatment in diabetic patients requires good medical control, stress-free procedures, and emphasis on oral hygiene.
Diabetic comas during dental treatment require immediate treatment, including placing the patient in a supine position and administering diagnostic glucose.
Hypertension may result from renal or non-renal causes, and essential hypertension accounts for two-thirds of cases.
Patients with hypertension may be treated with antihypertensive medications that can cause xerostomia.
Dental/orthodontic treatment in patients with hypertension requires checking blood pressure, determining the degree of control, and considering postural hypotension.
Care should be taken when patients with hypertension rise from the dental chair, especially after long procedures or when using nitrous oxide.
Diabetic patients may experience vascular and non-vascular complications, including microangiopathy and neuropathy.
Dental procedures for diabetic patients should be stress-free, and oral hygiene should be emphasized, especially with fixed appliances, which can increase plaque retention.
