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.
In this dynamic, information-packed, and engaging program, Tom Viola, R.Ph., C.C.P. draws from his 30 years’ experience as a pharmacist, dental educator and author to offer a complete overview of the principles of dental pharmacology. Master the art of tailoring dental therapy to patients’ existing medical conditions while avoiding potential complications.
