AM Session – “It’s Medically Complicated” Essential Pharmacology for Treating Medically Complex Dental Patients 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM 4 CE Credit Hours
Dental professionals must frequently draw upon their knowledge of pharmacology for optimal care of today’s medically complex dental patients. However, pharmacology often represents only a small portion of most dental degree programs. Armed with a relatively brief exposure to this vast subject, many dental professionals simply cannot keep up with the latest trends in disease state management.
This comprehensive program explores the dental implications of prescription medications, non-prescription medications, herbal products, nutritional supplements and substances of abuse most frequently used by patients. Participants receive this essential information in a format which is not only practical and applicable but also highly entertaining for the entire dental team.
Suggested Audience: Dentist, Dental Hygienist, Full Team
PM Session – “Hurts So…Swell!” Management of Acute Dental Pain and Appropriate Opioid Prescribing 12:30 PM – 4:30 PM 4 CE Credit Hours
Management of acute odontogenic pain is accomplished through a clinical approach that successfully incorporates both opioid and non-opioid analgesics. However, moderate to severe dental pain often occurs well after office hours and away from our immediate supervision. Thus, it is critical for clinicians to be able to accurately identify a patient’s need for pain control, develop an individual pain management plan and assess the efficacy of analgesic agents employed.
This program will provide strategies for effectively managing dental pain with opioid and non-opioid analgesics and analgesic adjuvants, while also mitigating associated risks. Special emphasis will be given to appropriate practices for prescribing analgesics as well as identification and treatment of opioid analgesic abuse.
Suggested Audience: Dentist, Dental Hygienist, Full Team
