Within primary care, conventional root canal treatment should be the first treatment option for cases of periapical pathology. If
unsuccessful, non surgical re-treatment should be the preferred option for endodontic failure. Apicectomies cannot be performed
without an adequate orthograde root filling.

(ie not those covered under a primary care dental contract)

Most patients with cardiovascular, respiratory disease, diabetes and epilepsy are well controlled
on their medication and can be treated within the primary care setting. Steroid therapy
maintained at <10mg may not need steroid cover. Patients on antiplatelet drugs such as aspirin,
clopidogrel are not at risk of excessive bleeding and therefore can be treated under a primary
care course of treatment (not necessarily one appointment) without cessation of their therapy.
Patients on warfarin can be treated by a GDP if their INR is < 4. Ideally extraction appointments
will be arranged the day after a visit to the INR clinic when a reading can be obtained and
brought by the patient to the appointment.
Accepted criteria for oral surgery treatment within a hospital setting would include:

• Respiratory function decreased to the extent the patient has to have home oxygen • Any medical condition such as liver/ kidney disease that requires additional investigations • Patients with coagulation disorders such as Haemophilia, Von Willebrands • Patients on Warfarin whose therapeutic INR >4, or whose INR is unstable or requires • Patients who have had radiotherapy to the head and neck • Steroid medication >10mg of prednisolone or equivalent dose of other steroid, as per • IV Bisphosphonate therapy or oral bisphosphonates and an additional comorbidity such as diabetes, steroid or other immunosuppressive therapy. For patients on oral bisphosphonates only please see referral protocol. • Patients who have severe immune dysfunction
For patients with learning disabilities, unstable mental health problems or dementia that are
untreatable within the dental chair and would benefit from the provision of not only extractions
but also full oral examination, radiographs and conservation under General Anaesthetic, please
continue to refer directly to the Special Care Dentistry Department.
