"Local anesthesia: Pharmacology and Therapeutics" and "Malignant Soft tissue Lesions"

2.0 CEUs – LIVE WEBINAR

Course Description: This two-part course combines an in-depth exploration of local anesthesia pharmacology and therapeutics with a comprehensive review of malignant soft tissue lesions. In the first section, participants will gain a thorough understanding of the properties, mechanisms, and clinical applications of local anesthetics, including their chemical classifications, systemic toxicity risks, and calculation of maximum recommended doses. The second segment focuses on the identification, diagnosis, and treatment of premalignant and malignant soft tissue lesions in the head and neck, emphasizing oral squamous cell carcinoma. Attendees will review risk factors, diagnostic guidelines, and evidence-based treatment modalities to improve patient outcomes. This course offers a robust educational experience to enhance clinical expertise

Speaker Bio:
"Dr. Steven C. Licht is proud to call Pittsburgh home. Originally from the South Hills of Pittsburgh, Dr. Licht graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School and subsequently earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Administration along with a minor in Biology from Washington & Jefferson College. He then received his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of Pittsburgh, where he served as Vice President of his class, was awarded the Omicron Kappa Upsilon Dental Honor Society Academic Excellence Award, and received numerous academic scholarships for scholastic achievement.

After graduating from Pittsburgh Dental School, Dr. Licht completed a four-year Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Residency at the University of Illinois Chicago. He was trained to provide the full scope of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery with an emphasis in dental implant rehabilitation, orthognathic surgery, exodontia, ambulatory anesthesia, maxillofacial trauma, head and neck pathology, temporomandibular joint disease, and reconstruction of hard and soft tissues. During his training at UIC, he authored several publications and presented his research both nationally and internationally at the American and International Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons Annual Conferences.

Dr. Licht is also passionate about mission work and volunteering. He participated as a mission team member in Cap-Haïtien, Haiti, as well as a dental care team member in the Dominican Republic. He looks forward to continuing his volunteer efforts both at home and abroad with his expertise as an Oral Surgeon. Dr. Licht is thrilled to practice in his hometown of Pittsburgh to provide comprehensive, patient-centered care to the members of his community."
