Abstract
Very often and quite unavoidably, a medical emergency may arise in a
dental clinic. If left unrecognized and unattended, it may lead to a life-threatening
situation. The dental chairside assistant should be well-armed with the knowledge of
any such condition and be responsible for a well-maintained setup. All the basic
equipment and trained staff to manage medical emergencies should always be
available. In this chapter, all the aspects of medical emergencies, such as diagnosis,
clinical presentation, and armamentarium required for management, are discussed in a
concise manner.
