Polypharmacy and drug interactions in dentistry
Dental care for patients taking multiple medications requires connecting medical history, the complete medication list and the proposed procedure. Novik offers AI support to organise case review; the dentist checks the sources and makes the decisions.
What information should be collected?
Include prescriptions, over-the-counter products and supplements, with dose, frequency and indication. Record allergies, medical history and recent changes. An incomplete list limits any interaction review.
Which questions guide the dental review?
Consider existing medicines alongside any proposed antibiotics, analgesics and local anaesthetics. In older patients, medication-associated dry mouth also deserves attention. Coexisting diseases matter as well as the number of medicines.
How can Novik support the process?
Describe the medical history, medication and procedure to request clinical decision support. Check the relevance of each response and its references before using it. AI does not replace a complete history or communication with the prescriber.
