Management of patients with scoliosis in a dental practice
A review of literature
Keywords:
scoliosis, dental management, guidelines, dental treatment, dentistsAbstract
Management of a patient with moderate to severe scoliosis is often challenging in dental set-ups, due to their poor sitting postures caused by spinal curvature. Intra-operative complexities usually increase with the increased severity of their spinal curvatures, which can be problematic on the ends of both patients and their dentists, ultimately affecting the treatment outcomes and quality of care. To minimize the poor outcomes and optimize the quality of care and treatment, dental operators should follow proper protocols while dealing with such patients. In this study, we performed the literature review and identified studies related to our topic in three different databases, with Boolean search and followed Prisma guidelines. But the results showed a lack of literature having any such guidelines present. The aim of this article is to highlight the difficulties that are faced by the dental practitioners and their patients with scoliosis, during the dental procedures and emphasizes on the importance and formation of such guidelines that will be beneficial for both of them.
