Case Reports

Communication in patient management as seen in a patient with multiple sclerosis



ET Herbold and JE Lindenmuth

A case report has been presented showing the possible psychological impact of a debilitating disease, such as multiple sclerosis, on a patient. Medical and dental evaluations had determined that it was necessary to delay making dentures until oral conditions improved. As this did not satisfy the patient's immediate objectives of treatment, he chose not to follow the proposed treatment plan. Instead he searched to find someone who would give him what he wanted. Dentists must evaluate the patient's objectives in relation to the physical criteria for treatment and should not compromise standards of care to accommodate the patient's demands.
