PHARMACOLOGY FOR THE DENTAL PRACTITIONER: AN OVERVIEW
CATEGORY 1 CORE - 3 CE CREDITS
8:15am - 11:30am
Course Outline:
Clinical pharmacology studies the effects of drugs and their use for preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. In this lecture I will review the various pharmacological agents commonly used in the daily dental practice. We will discuss local anaesthetics, its mechanism of action, onset and duration of action and adverse effects and potential complications associated with its use. Also, we will review the analgesics most commonly used in dentistry namely, acetaminophen, NSAIDs and opioids. In this section, I will discuss the adverse effects, common drug interactions and recommended dosages. Moreover, anti-infectives most commonly used will be discussed. Also, since the use of herbal medications has significantly increased in the last few years, a discussion on the most common herbal medications will be provided and its effects on dental treatment. Finally, in this lecture we will review special topics such as geriatrics, pregnancy, kidney failure and liver disease, all situations requiring special caution on the part of the clinician when prescribing or administering drugs in the daily dental practice.

ANTI-INFECTIVES IN THE DENTAL OFFICE: WHAT'S NEW?
CATEGORY 1 CORE – 3 CE CREDITS
12:30 pm - 3:30 pm
Course Outline
Clinical dental practice is immersed in the primary treatment and corrective management of infectious diseases of the oral and peri-oral region. Dental practitioners are faced daily with bacterial, fungal and viral infections. It has been estimated that 10% of all anti-infectives prescriptions are related with dental infections. All antimicrobial agents may cause adverse reactions of varying degrees of severity. Oral fungal infections can occur from alterations in oral flora as a result of the extensive use of broad spectrum antibiotics, steroids, chemotherapy, immunosuppression, and inadequate oral hygiene and nutrition. Understanding the interplay of host, microorganism, and antimicrobials fosters advances in therapeutic choices and delivery systems when treating oral diseases. Understanding the rational use of anti-infective agents in dentistry, both in terms of the management of existing orofacial infections and for prophylaxis against the development of bacterial endocarditis or other infection post treatment is crucial. In this lecture I will discuss the common antibiotics, antifungals and antivirals drugs used in the dental office. The common adverse Drug Reactions and Drug Interactions associated with these agents will be discussed. Also, in this lecture we will review special topics such as Geriatrics, pregnancy, kidney failure and liver disease, all situations requiring special caution on the part of the clinician when indicating antibiotic treatment.
