Geza Terezhalmy, D.D.S., M.A.
The Right and Wrong Way to Treat Pain
OVERVIEW
The most common complaint causing a person to seek the services of a health care provider is pain or the closely associated symptom, discomfort. Consequently, the primary obligation and ultimate responsibility of every practitioner of the healing arts is not only to restore health but also to relieve pain. The intent of this course is to present clinicians a rational strategy for the medical management of acute odontogenic pain and to discuss current recommendations for the use of local anesthetic agents and analgesics.
The Right and Wrong Way to Treat Pain
OBJECTIVES
Participants in this course will be introduced to evidence-based information that will help them to select the most appropriate therapeutic intervention for the management of acute odontogenic pain and when pharmacotherapy is indicated, to prescribe dose enough, soon enough, often enough, long enough to prescribe, as they would receive.
Upon completion of this course the practitioner should be able to:
• Discuss the basic mechanisms of acute pain.
• Discuss the pharmacological basis of and factors to be considered in the selection of a local anesthetic agent.
• Discuss the pharmacological basis of and factors to be considered in the selection of a COX inhibitor.
• Discuss the pharmacological basis of and factors to be considered in the selection of a combination analgesic.
Antibacterial Agents: Use and Misuse
OVERVIEW
Most infections of the head and neck region are odontogenic in origin, which can be resolved satisfactorily through an approach that incorporates appropriate, timely debridement (primary dental care). Odontogenic infections, which fail to respond to debridement, may spread into anatomical spaces contiguous with fascial planes and lead to serious, even life-threatening situations especially in immunocompromized patients. The intent of this course is to present clinicians a rational strategy for the medical management of odontogenic infections and to discuss current recommendations for the use of antibacterial prophylaxis.
Antibacterial Agents: Use and Misuse
GENERAL OBJECTIVES
Participants in this course will be introduced to evidence-based information that will help them to select the most appropriate therapeutic intervention for the management of an odontogenic infection considering the diagnosis, the need for antibacterial chemotherapy or antibacterial prophylaxis, the benefits versus the risks of drug therapy, the need to individualize drug regimen, the need for educating patients, and the importance of follow-up.
Antibacterial Agents: Use and Misuse
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of this course the practitioner should be able to:
• Discuss the etiology of odontogenic infections.
• Discuss the pharmacological basis of antibacterial chemotherapy in dentistry.
• Develop appropriate strategies for the medical management of odontogenic infections.
• Recognize indications and contraindications for the use of antibacterial prophylaxis.
• Understand the clinical relevance of antibacterial drug resistance.
