This study was conducted with the following aim & objectives: 1.To assess the incidence of medical conditions in patients 2. To assess the type of medical condition and age group 3. To estimate the statistical significance and compare with similar studies.
Results: Diabetes mellitus was the most common Co morbidity Affecting the people which was found to be statistically significant (p=<0.05). The second frequent medical condition in our population was hypertension and the third prevalent medical condition was anemia which was more commonly observed in females (31.42%) which were found to be statistically significant (p=<0.05).
Conclusion:The management of medically compromised patients in dental care is a specialty in itself. A dentist must master it in order to provide proper and comprehensive care through referral, treatment modification, and appropriate drug modifications.
