Scheduling multiple surgical procedures in immunocompromised rheumatoid patient on immunosuppressant regimen
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 8
Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease that can be crippling as well as fatal. The use of disease modifying drugs (methotrexate) and biologic response modifiers (adalimubab) have helped in altering the history, course and fatality related to the disease. In advance stages, surgical intervention in the joints becomes a necessity and healing has been successfully accomplished by withholding the drugs for a period of 1 to 2 weeks depending upon the dose of the drugs. However, dental surgical procedures like multiple pulpectomy, multiple extractions and crown lengthening procedures have to be completed in several appointments that demand a different approach in such patients. This article presents a case report of a 23 year old female, with a history of rheumatoid arthritis under a prescribed medication regimen, who presented generalized gross rampant caries of the natural teeth that required full mouth rehabilitation.
