Resumen
Es conocido que la falta de conocimientos farmacológicos durante la realización de tratamientos odontológicos en pacientes geriátricos, así como la falta de responsabilidad y preparación sobre la condición clínica del paciente, han contribuido a que el mal manejo de pacientes ancianos genere como consecuencia acciones iatrogénicas involuntarias por parte de los profesionales de la salud. Por lo que hubiera sido necesario e indispensable para el Odontólogo conocer a profundidad la etiología, signos y síntomas de las patologías más comunes en pacientes mayores y su relación con el tratamiento odontológico, ya que a través del diagnóstico acertado de estas enfermedades se hubiera podido otorgar un tratamiento operatorio y farmacológico adecuado a las necesidades propias de cada condición clínica que el paciente mayor pudiera tener. Por estos motivos a través de los conocimientos de farmacocinética y farmacodinamia de los diferentes tipos de drogas usadas en la práctica odontológica se pudo repercutir de manera positiva en el manejo de salud del paciente de edad avanzada. Se procedió de acuerdo al objetivo de esta investigación a determinar las diferentes patologías que frecuentemente aquejan al adulto mayor y a realizar un estudio de los diferentes fármacos que se deben emplear en la práctica odontológica para tratar dichas patologías. Establecida la importancia del estudio de la terapéutica farmacéutica para pacientes de edad avanzada la cual radica en: que como profesional de la salud se puede contribuir a la salud y bienestar del paciente y a la sociedad otorgando un buen servicio de salud a este grupo social vulnerable. Se usó un método de investigación documental para estudiar las variables condiciones clínicas del adulto mayor y los medicamentos adecuados para los diferentes tratamientos odontológicos.
Is known that lack of pharmacological knowledge during dental treatment in geriatric patients, as well as the lack of accountability and preparation on the clinical condition of the patient, have contributed to the mismanagement of elders patients to generate as a result unintended iatrogenic actions by health professionals. So it would have been necessary and indispensable for the dentist to know depth the etiology, signs and symptoms of the most common diseases in elderly patients and its relation to dental treatment, since through the successful diagnosis of these diseases would have been able to grant surgical and pharmacological treatment appropriate to the needs of each clinical condition that the elderly patient might have. For these reasons through the knowledge of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of different types of drugs used in dental practice could impact positively on the health of the elderly patient management. We proceeded according to the objective of this research to determine the different pathologies that frequently afflict the elderly and to conduct a study of the different drugs that should be used in the dental practice to treat these pathologies. Established the importance of the study of therapeutic drug for elderly patients which is: that as the health professional can contribute to the health and well-being of the patient and society providing a good service of health to this vulnerable social group. A documentary research method was used to study the varying clinical conditions of the elderly and medicaments suitable for the different dental treatments.
