Pregnant Oral and Maxillofacial Patient - Catch 22 Situation

Lakshmi Shetty,Anagha Shete,Archana Anshuman Gupta*,Supriya Kheur

There have been many advances in both gynecology and oral maxillofacial fields but one issue for discussion is the pregnant oral and maxillofacial surgery patient. This places the surgeons in a Catch 22 situation whether to operate or not. The lives of two individuals, mother and her fetus are at risk. This narrative literature review data is based on searches without restriction on dates of publication from MEDLINE®, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase and various other relevant databases using the search terms "pregnant", “drugs" and "oral and maxillofacial surgery". The treatment for the pregnant oral and maxillofacial patient depending on the trimester of pregnancy has been dealt in depth in this informative review. The evaluation of the risk for the two lives and taking the best possible decision for the clinical situation based on the current evidence is the only solution for any ‘Catch 22 situation’.
