The active use of preventive measures is invaluable in clinical practice, but the best way to ensure effective management of a medical emergency is to be prepared in advance. Practitioners and their entire dental staff must be ready to confront medical emergencies that may arise during treatment with sufficient medical knowledge to initiate appropriate primary treatment. This accessible manual addresses the most common medical emergencies encountered during dental treatment. Step-by-step treatment guidelines and decision-making algorithms outline the steps for immediate treatment and make this practical book an essential office manual.
