“…The mean age of dental patients with comorbidities was similar to other studies published prior to the current pandemic, indicating that co-morbidities mainly affected the middle-aged and elderly (only one study showed the lack of any relationship between a pre-existing medical condition and age among dental school patients and may be considered to be exceptional) [ 7 , 12 , 14 - 15 ]. The incidence of chronic diseases is increasing worldwide due to an aging population and changing lifestyles.…”

“…Except for one study [ 7 ], most studies suggest that a greater proportion of patients who applied to the dental outpatient clinic in the pre-pandemic period were females [ 8 , 11 - 12 , 15 ]. Supporting these data, the current study also found that predominantly female patients, both with and without comorbidities, visited dental clinics during the pandemic period as well.…”

“…In the current study, we found a high proportion of dental patients with thyroid disorders. Very few reliable studies reported so far have evaluated thyroid diseases among dental patients [ 11 , 15 ]. The presence of thyroid dysfunction or symptoms of hypo- or hyperthyroidism among dental patients can preclude dental treatments.…”

Background: The keystone of safe and effective patient management is to approach a patient with up-to-date medical information. Assessment of patients for their medical conditions has changed during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and the need for appropriate research infrastructure has increased. Considering an updated list of high-risk underlying conditions in the post-COVID-19 era, this study aimed to evaluate the utilization of dental services by patients with comorbidities during the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. Methods: Data of patients with comorbidities seeking dental care at a dental school during the COVID-19 pandemic were retrospectively evaluated. Demographic variables (age, gender) and medical history of the participants were recorded. The patients were classified according to their diagnosis. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi-square analysis. The significance level was determined at α =0.05. Results: The study included data from 1067 patient visits between September 1, 2020 and November 1, 2021. Among these patients, 406 (38.1%) were males and 661 (61.9%) were females, with a mean age of 38.28 ± 14.36 years. Comorbidities were identified in 38.3% of the patients with predominance in females (74.1% n=303). Single comorbidity was observed in 28.1% while multi-morbidity was detected in 10.2% of the cohort. The most prevalent comorbidity was hypertension (9.7%), followed by diabetes (6.5%), thyroid disorders (5%), various psychological diseases (4.5%), COVID-19 infection (4.5%), and different allergies (4%). The presence of one or more co-morbidities was observed mostly in the 50-59 years age group. Conclusions: The seeking of dental care among the adult population with comorbidities was high during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. It would be beneficial to develop a template for obtaining a medical history from patients by taking full account of the consequences of the pandemic. The dental profession needs to respond accordingly.

“…The prevalence of comorbid conditions in patients presenting with diseases of the oral cavity is not much studied as our population is concerned as only a few studies are available. 5 However, international literature showed high prevalence; [6][7] apart from this, a high prevalence of systemic diseases like hypertension and diabetes in our community warrants screening of these conditions.…”

Objectives: To find the frequency and type of comorbid conditions in patients presenting with oral diseases. Study Design: Observational study. Setting: Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, University College of Dentistry, University of Lahore. Period: January 2018 to December 2019. Material & Methods: After approval from the ethical committee, all cases presenting with oral diseases to the oral and maxillofacial surgery department were recruited consecutively. A thorough history and relevant examinations were made. All the previous records of the patient, including laboratory tests and the medical summary, were reviewed for the existence of any comorbid conditions. The data was entered on the spreadsheet. Descriptive statistics were used. Frequencies and percentages were calculated for comorbid conditions. Results: This study included 17155 patients who visited the oral and maxillofacial surgery department for procedures related to oral surgery. Others patients presenting to other departments of dentistry were excluded. Out of these, 4056 patients (24%) had comorbid conditions. Among these patients, 77% had single comorbid condition and 23% had multiple systemic disease. The most common comorbid condition was hypertension (77%), followed by diabetes (33%) and hepatitis (11%). Conclusion: A high prevalence of comorbidities was found in our study. Hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and hepatitis C were the common comorbidities. In addition, a significant number of patients had multiple comorbidities.

“…Dental management are widely influenced by systemic diseases and medications, and dental treatments may have effects on the systemic diseases of the patients. 4,5 The prevalence of systemic diseases among dental patients in different studies conducted in Tehran, Mashhad, India, and Saudi Arabia has been reported to be 10.3% to 52.8% [6][7][8][9] and Diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and digestive disorders were among the prevalent systemic diseases in dental patients.…”

To determine the prevalence of systemic diseases in patients looking for dental management in Medenta Oral and Dental Care.: The archived files of 2040 patients looking for dental management in Medenta Oral and Dental Care from 2018-2021 were retrieved and reviewed for systemic diseases. Out of 2040 patients, 1348 patients (67%) had systemic diseases. The most prevalent systemic diseases in descending order were gastro-intestinal disease (14.7%), anemia (14.3%), headaches (11.4%), depression (11.3%), and high blood pressure (5.6%). As the results indicate the prevalence of systemic diseases in dental patients is considerable, especially in women, so the dentists should pay attention while taking patients’ medical history as there could be some diseases or medications that are contraindicated for certain dental procedures or the patient may need special consideration during the treatment process. Hence, detailed and systematic history taking and accurate clinical examinations are required before starting any dental procedure.
