AHRQ Issues Report on Dental Care and Sickle Cell Disease

Jul 16, 2024

Per the notice below, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) has issued a report on dental care and sickle cell disease.

Dental Care for People With Sickle Cell Disease: A Rapid Response Literature Review

  • A search of the Embase® and PubMed® databases as well as professional society websites identified no primary research studies or systematic reviews that evaluated the effect of dental care on sickle cell disease (SCD) treatment outcomes.
  • Three clinical practice guidelines and two reviews with consensus-based recommendations for dental care for SCD patients were identified and reviewed.
  • Preventive care and patient education were recommended to minimize the likelihood of oral infections, periodontal disease, and major dental procedures.
  • Both reviews recommended that patients’ stress and anxiety status be assessed prior to dental treatments.  Further, a complete blood count should be evaluated before invasive dental procedures, because SCD patients may be at higher risk for infection.
  • No primary research evidence was available to conclude the appropriate timing for SCD patients to receive dental care in order to optimize the effectiveness of SCD treatments.
  • A multidisciplinary approach involving close coordination between dental service providers and a hematologist/sickle cell disease specialist was recommended to ensure that SCD patients receive comprehensive treatments.
  • All recommendations were aimed at the management of SCD during dental services, not incorporating dental care as a strategy to improve SCD treatment.
