Dental patients may present with complex medications they
are taking for management of their acute and chronic illnesses. These
medications may induce oral and systemic adverse effects, drug interactions and
altered reactivity to drugs provided during dental care.
This course will provide an overview of the dental
implications of medications, supplements and substances of abuse most
frequently used by dental patients. It will provide practical tools dental
professionals can apply every day to assist them in interpreting the
information contained in a patient’s medication history and help the learner
understand the impact on dental treatment planning and patient care.
Objectives:
·
Discuss medications, supplements and substances
of abuse most frequently encountered on a patient’s medical history and their
impact on dental therapy.
·
Describe medication-induced and systemic
illness-induced oral effects in the dental patient.
·
Explore innovative treatment options available
with injectable and topical drugs for managing pain in medically complex
patients.
·
Describe the pharmacology and mechanism of
action of common drugs taken by the dental patient.
· Understand appropriate prescribing practices to utilize in everyday clinical situations.
