TOPIC
Part 1: Local Anesthesia For Dentistry: How Numb Can We Get.
Part 2: Medical Emergencies. Stay Calm, Think Fast, Act Faster
Course Overview & Educational Objectives
Most dentists will inject a local anesthetic hundreds of times every year, most often with success. However, there are times when administering a local anesthetic fails. Why does this happen?
In Part 1 of this seminar, we will review modern concepts in local anesthesia for dentistry, as they pertain to anatomy, pharmacology and armamentarium. The latest research, and the newest products available for dentistry will be highlighted. Specific topics to explore include calculating toxicity in children, the safety and efficacy of articaine (is it more effective?); new products such as buffering systems; a local anesthetic antidote, and the safety of vasoconstrictors in cardiovascular patients. All of this will tie in to how we can deliver the most effective and comfortable local anesthetic injections.
In Part 2, we will review aspects of medical emergency response including patient assessment, medical emergency drugs and managing specific emergencies such as syncope, myocardial infarction, angina, stroke, asthma, allergy / anaphylaxis and other common emergencies. We will address the challenge that health-care practitioners forget some aspects of Basic Life Support training only a few months after being taught by learning an easy-to-remember mnemonic that can apply to any medical emergency. Also, this course will be unique in that it will concentrate on the dental team and their role in managing an emergency in a dental office. We will also discuss emergencies in the pediatric population.
