Abstract
It is of interest to evaluate the prevalence of systemic disorders
in patients undergoing minor oral surgeries at a dental hospital.
This will
help to take necessary precautions prior to oral surgeries. We used
the digital case records of 1288 patients who underwent minor oral
surgeries in a hospital. Demographic details and systemic diseases
of the patients were recorded from digital case records. Data shows
that
103 patients (7.9%) of the total number of patients undergoing minor
oral surgeries had systemic diseases with 3.8% of patients diagnosed
with diabetes. Statistically significant associations were found
between type of minor oral surgery and the type of systemic disease
(p<0.001); age of patients and type of minor oral surgery (p<0.001);
age and type of systemic diseases (p<0.001) and gender of patient
and
type of minor oral surgery (p = 0.005). Thus, data shows the
prevalence of systemic diseases in patients undergoing minor oral
surgeries
was 7.9%.
