Description:

Overview

The challenge faced by all clinicians today is to provide safe and effective dental treatment to our medically complex patients. Thus, as dental professionals, we must be equally aware of the medical considerations of agents commonly used in the practice of dentistry as well as the dental considerations of the medications frequently prescribed for the treatment of multiple systemic diseases. This program will present an overview of the basic principles of pharmacology in a format which makes it applicable, practical and useful for all members of the dental team. Using case scenarios, special emphasis will be given to drugs administered or prescribed in dental practice, as well as to medications whose actions, effects, or interactions with other drugs may impact dental therapy.

Learning Objectives

After attending this lecture, participants should be better able to:

Describe the pharmacology of analgesics and appropriate prescribing practices for the management of acute dental pain.
Discuss local anesthetic agents with respect to their mechanism of action, adverse effects and contraindications.
Examine the pharmacology of anti-infective agents commonly used in dentistry and their clinical considerations.
Discuss the prescription medications and nonprescription drugs and supplements most frequently encountered on a patient's medical history, including their potential impact on dental therapy and patient care planning.
