Bad odor; metallic taste
Uremic stomatitis
Uremic frost
Renal osteodystrophy (Compensatory hyperparathyroidism)

25

A 
Thiazide diuretics
ACE inhibitors
ARBs
Beta blockers
Calcium channel blockers
30
Q

2 oral manifestations that can arise with the use of thiazide diuretics

A

Dry mouth

Lichenoid reactions

31
Q

2 medical considerations with the use of thiazide diuretics

A

Orthostatic hypotension

Avoid prolonged NSAIDs (may reduce anti-HTN effects)

32
Q

Vasoconstrictor interactions with the use of non-selective beta blockers

A

Potential BP increase (max 0.036 mg epinephrine)

Avoid levonordefrine

33
Q

2 oral manifestations of non-selective beta blockers

A

Taste changes

Lichenoid reactions

34
Q

Medical consideration with the use of non-selective beta blockers

A

Avoid prolonged NSAIDs (may reduce anti-HTN effects)

35
Q

Vasoconstrictor interactions with the use of combined alpha and beta blockers

A

Both B1 and B2 adrenergic receptor site blocked = potential adverse effects, but alpha receptor blockade compensates –> unlikely

36
Q

Oral manifestations of combined alpha and beta blockers

A

Taste changes

37
Q

2 medical considerations with the use of combined alpha and beta blockers

Taste changes

44
Q

Other medical considerations with the use of alpha1-adrenergic blockers

48
Q

2 other medical considerations with the use of direct vasodilators

Orthostatic hypotension

Avoid prolonged NSAIDs (may reduce anti-HTN effects)

49
Q

A

> or = to 180/100

Vasoconstrictors, i.e. epinephrine, not advised in patients with uncontrolled HTN

50
Q

4 points of epinephrine usage in the event of necessary urgent treatment and uncontrolled HTN

A

Will be dictated by the situation
Modest doses (e.g., one or two carpules)
Care is taken to avoid inadvertent intravascular injection
Consultation with the patient’s physician is advisable

51
Q

2 methods of vasoconstrictor application that should not e used in a patient with HTN

A

Topical vasoconstrictors generally should not be used for local hemostasis

Avoid using gingival retraction cord containing epinephrine

52
Q
