The patient with hypertension.
Elevated blood pressure appears to be an affliction that is more common in developed than in developing countries. However, the blood pressure consistently increases with age in most populations in the world, modified only by genetic and environmental factors. In the United States, it is estimated that there may be as many as 58 million people with hypertension; fewer than 5% of these cases have a curable cause. Oral health care providers can expect to be called on to care for patients with this progressively debilitating disease. To provide competent care to patients with hypertension, clinicians must understand the disease, its treatment, and its impact on the patient's ability to undergo and respond to dental care.

The patient with Alzheimer's disease.
Victims of Alzheimer's disease show a gradual and steady deterioration in memory, orientation, emotional stability, language capacity, abstract thinking, motor skills, and, ultimately, self care. Cognitive and motor deficits are accompanied by a gradual inability to perform adequate oral hygiene. Alzheimer's disease also interferes with the patient's ability to communicate dental symptoms of pain or dysfunction, and progressive deterioration of cognition interferes with the patient's ability to tolerate most therapeutic interventions. When treating patient's with Alzheimer's disease, oral health care providers must develop timely, preventive, and therapeutic strategies compatible with the patient's physical and cognitive ability to undergo and respond to dental care. They should strive to achieve those goals with the same ethical, moral, and professional standards of care as may be appropriate in the management of any other patient.

Cicatricial pemphigoid (benign mucous membrane pemphigoid).
Cicatricial pemphigoid is a chronic mucocutaneous bullous condition. It is a heterogenous autoimmune disease, characterized by the production of autoantibodies against basement membrane zone antigens. The target antigens in cicatricial pemphigoid appear to be lamina lucida proteins involved in human keratinocyte adhesion to extracellular matrix. Cicatricial pemphigoid primarily affects persons older than 40 years and appears to have a 2:1 predilection for women, without racial or geographic bias.
Today's minimal requirements for a practical dental office infection control and exposure control program.
The current climate in society regarding infectious diseases in general, and herpes, hepatitis, and HIV infections in particular, dictates that today's dental practices must use effective infection control techniques. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration continues to inspect, cite, and fine health care facilities. More states are implementing regulations concerning the operation of health care facilities. Patients are becoming more sophisticated in their scrutinizing of the dental and medical professions' approach to asepsis. Media coverage of exposure incidents is becoming more intense. All these factors leave dentists no choice; they must implement appropriate infection control techniques. The life-time cost of effective infection control is far less than one malpractice settlement. Implementation of an effective infection control program to promote dental asepsis can be cost-effective. In addition, it can be a practice builder.
