Chairside Screening for Medical Conditions as an Integral Component of Dental Practice

Given the existence of simple, safe, effective and relatively inexpensive screening methods, the availability of effective means of identifying patients at risk and the documented benefit of primary prevention, chair-side screening for medical conditions should be an integral component of dental practice.

The rise in cardiovascular disease and diabetes is a global issue for which successful disease-prevention strategies require an integrated approach that incorporates health care providers across disciplines.
