Syncope is a sudden and transient loss of consciousness due to a temporary drop in blood flow to the brain. It is often associated with loss of postural tone and can be caused by various factors, including cardiac, orthostatic, and neurocardiogenic issues. The condition can be diagnosed through a thorough medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests such as ECG and imaging studies. Management strategies include patient education, lifestyle modifications, and, in some cases, medication or device therapy. Dental professionals should be aware of the risk factors and signs of syncope to ensure patient safety during dental procedures.
