Drugs, Labs and Clinical Practice: what is a dentist to do?

Identify tests that are useful in predicting treatment outcomes
Interpret the most common lab results relevant to clinical practice
Implement the use of lab tests in clinical practice

An increasing number of dental patients are on multiple medications that can potentially affect our everyday clinical practice. Evaluating the patient’s health status and ability to tolerate dental treatment becomes paramount.  Which lab values and clinical tests can help practitioners to reliably determine this? Such questions as:  when do you need an INR, what does it tell you?  What does the GFR value tell you about patients with renal disease? What levels are safe for outpatient treatment?  Should you get a CTX for patients on bisphosphonates? 

An evidence based approach to answering these questions will be presented along with a thorough review the on the most common lab tests (Complete Blood Count and Complete Metabolic Panels) Finally, a discussion of the clinical relevance of the new high blood pressure guidelines will be presented.
