To reduce the patient's hazard in the dental office, the dentist must take a medical history, perform a limited medical examination, order and interpret laboratory tests when indicated, initiate medical consultation when necessary, and evaluate the data obtained in order to make appropriate treatment modifications for high risk patients. The current status of health which our population enjoys must not be confused with a status of robustness. An apparently well patient may be in great jeopardy while you are delivering the most skillful dental care unless adequate precautions are taken.
为降低患者在牙科诊所的风险，牙医必须了解病史，进行有限的体格检查，在必要时安排并解读实验室检查结果，必要时进行医学会诊，并评估所获数据，以便为高风险患者做出适当的治疗调整。我们民众所享有的当前健康状况绝不能与强健状态相混淆。在你提供最精湛的牙科护理时，一位看似健康的患者可能正处于极大的危险之中，除非采取了充分的预防措施。
