The world is experiencing growth in the number and proportion of older persons in the population, because of this the incidence of a number of pathologies has been increasing and thus is producing an increase in the number of individuals with systemic medical conditions that can affect oral health and subsequent dental treatment. The dental management of medically compromised patients can be sometimes problematic in terms of oral complications, dental therapy, and emergency care. The evaluation and treatment of these patients is one of the difficulties that modern dental experts must overcome. Elderly patients with complicated medical histories and numerous medication use are far more likely to be at least somewhat dentulous. A complete history is necessary to determine the medical status of the patient. Acquiring a comprehensive medical history is crucial. In order to assess a patient’s health status, a process of gathering information is used. It includes a systematic review of the patient’s main complaint, a thorough history of the complaint, information about past and current medical conditions, relevant social and family histories, and an organ system review of symptoms.
