In Japan, the demand for home-visit dental treatment is increasing because of a super-aging society. Since home-visit dental treatments mainly provide dental care to medically compromised older adult patients, it is necessary to understand appropriate knowledge about systemic diseases. In this paper, we will present actual cases of home-visit dental treatment to learn cerebrovascular disease, atrial fibrillation, dementia, and Parkinson’s disease. In addition, we summarized how to prepare patient referral documents which are essential for good collaboration with medical doctors, and explained the importance of conferences, and monitoring of medically compromised patients. We hope that this paper will be useful in the practice of safe and secure home-visit dental treatment.
