Hospital dental care for a post-cerebral infarction patient

Abstract

Stroke presents as a deficiency of cerebral blood supply lowering the oxygen level and increasing the chance of irreversible tissue damage being such severity proportional to the extent and type of tissue injury, requiring immediate multiprofessional support. Thus, the objective is to present a clinical case of a 85-year-old female patient with stroke who underwent invasive dental treatment to eliminate the foci of infection and comfort to the patient concomitant to the hospitalization.
