Mysuru: Over a period of years, the number of medically-compromised patients requiring dental treatment is on the rise. In order to provide dental care safely to these patients, a proper understanding of their medical conditions, medications taken and investigations required is very essential. Hence a Special Interest Group (SIG) called ‘Management of Medical Problems and Medical Emergencies in Dentistry’ was created by JSS Academy of Higher Education & Research, Mysuru.
This group consists of like-minded Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons Dr. Sahith Kumar Shetty (Group Co-ordinator), Dr. S. Manjula, Dr. S. Shyam Sundar, Dr. S. Shivananda, Dr. S.N. Chandan, Gynecologist Dr. S. Mamatha, Internal Medicine Specialist Dr. M. Mahesh and Periodontist Dr. Sheela Kumar Gujjari.
