Abstract

Abstract

The optimal management of the dental patient receiving corticosteroid therapy is a growing dilemma. Consultation with the patient’s physician or endocrinologist can maximize optimal dental care. The judicious use of corticosteroids is both satisfying and lifesaving for the patient. A word of caution these powerful medications are double edged weapons, always weigh the risk versus benefit for the patient and keep in mind the long term compromise that may be precipitated.
