\nThis category of risk factors includes but is not limited to patient related: a) complaints, expectations, psychological suitability and limitations (e.g. clinical limitations and financial limitations), b) history of periodontitis (especially aggressive periodontitis) and c) smoking, systemic disease and medications.<\/p>\n
\nA patient\u2019s history of periodontitis and in particular aggressive periodontitis needs to be determined from the information gathered from both the initial patient interview, previous dental records as well as from the diagnostic information gathering phase. There have been several articles studying this issue. Readers are referred to a meta-analysis published in 2014.1 A conclusion can be drawn from this review that a history of aggressive periodontitis poses a negative risk factor for and should be taken into account and included as part of the \u201cinformed consent\u201d process and treatment.<\/p>\n
\nThe patient\u2019s dental, medical and habit history and in particular current conditions that could impact upon the outcome, need to be questioned and evaluated at the initial patient interview and where indicated investigated in more detail. Outside consultations may be needed to determine if any pre-treatment precautions need to be taken or if treatment is absolutely contra-indicated.<\/p>\n
\nSuccessfully achieving \u201cpatient informed consent\u201d is a critically important aspect of overall patient care. It is a legal and ethical duty for dentists to make sure that the patient understands the important aspects of treatment. There have been several recent RCDSO Dispatch articles that have addressed this issue, for example \u201cDental Implant lawsuits\u201d, August\/September 2015 issue, \u201cInformed Consent Learning program\u201d, November\/December 2015 issue and \u201cInformed Consent From
\nMaterial Risks to Material Information\u201d, February\/March 2016 issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
