This seminar will highlight pathophysiological principles that provide a foundation for preoperative assessment. Particular attention is given to the most commonly prescribed medications, which not only reflect the nature and severity of specific diseases, but also present potential interactions with medications used in dental and oral surgery practice. Recognition and management of acute complications will also be addressed, including analysis of conventional therapeutic algorithms.
