Overview:
Are you confident in your knowledge of medications and dietary
supplements, as well as their drug interactions, adverse reactions and effects on
patient management and treatment planning?
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 the 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.
Learning Objectives
-
Identify the prescription medications most
frequently encountered on a patient’s medical history and discuss their
indications for use, adverse reactions and impact on dental therapy.
-
Discuss the non-prescription medications most
often used by dental patients and explain their impact on dental therapy,
including situations which preclude their use.

Explore the most popular herbal products and
nutritional supplements and discuss their purported uses and dental
considerations.
