Abstrakt: Summary: An evaluation and consideration of health status of patient prior to any surgical treatment forms an essential part of comprehensive health care. Apparently well but in fact medically compromised patients usually present with unacceptable possibility of complications; whereas adequate pretreatment utilization of many techniques available to diagnose and treat underlying systemic disease significantly decreases morbidity and mortality associated with it.
Aims and Objectives: Purpose of this study was to evaluate, prospectively, prevalence of various systemic diseases in oral surgery patients.
Materials and Methods: For analyzing prevalence of systemic diseases in oral surgery patients, the patients reporting to oral surgery department for various treatments were prospectively evaluated for a period of 6 months and were grouped according to a system involved and findings analyzed to get prevalence in central India.
Result: Of the 12,487 patients who reported to the department 506 (4.055 %) were medically compromised with a highest prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (35.57 %), and least prevalence of infectious diseases (3.55 %). These results are statistically significant (by Chi-square test) at p < 0.01 (χ(2) = 342.752).
Conclusion: The aim of study was to evaluate prevalence of systemic disease in oral surgery patients of central India which is 4.055 % with highest population showing involvement of cardiovascular disease and minimum population undergoing oral surgical procedures are compromised by various infectious diseases.
