CONCLUSION
Psychiatric
This appears to be the first study specifically examining the medical profiles of patients referred to a university postgraduate oral surgery clinic in the southern hemisphere. Over half of patients referred to the Griffith University postgraduate oral surgery clinic in 2018 and 2019 had at least one medical condition and approximately a third were experiencing multimorbidity. Psychiatric, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, respiratory, and endocrine conditions were the five most prevalent categories of medical conditions present. Cardiovascular medications were the most ubiquitous class of medications, followed by psychotropics. To help prepare dental students for safe and effective clinical practice, dental school curricula must increase their contemporary medical and pharmacological content.
