Understand the importance of a comprehensive medical and dental history as well as recognize the clinical signs and symp-toms of oral pathology.

Recognize the etiology and consequences of common diseases.

Assess clinical signs and symptoms in order to formulate a differential diagnosis.

Determine when and if a referral is recommended for a definitive diagnosis.

6:00 - 9:00 PM C2 “ MANAGEMENT OF THE MEDICALLY COMPROMISED PATIENT IN THE DENTAL OFFICE” (3 CEUS)

Presented by Martin J. Dunn, DMD

In 1910, the average life expectancy in the United States was 40 years of age; today it is almost 80. Currently, there are 5 million people over the age of 85, with the projection that by 2050, this number will reach 17 million. This increase is due to medical advances such as new surgical techniques, drug therapy, chemotherapy, and organ transplants that allow patients who previously were confined to their home or unable to work to live fairly normal lives and seek dental treatment. Many of these potentially at-risk patients have chronic disorders that are controlled but not cured; however, they need dental care and must be carefully managed in the dental office. This session will review the issues and complica-tions associated with medically compromised patients in the dental setting and provide guidance for proper management, focusing particularly on new concepts and recent guidelines. Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of this course, participants will:

Understand the new guidelines regarding hypertension parameters and determine when a patient should abstain from dental treatment.

Identify current prophylactic antibiotic coverage in cardiovascular disease and total joint replacement.

Analyze appropriate use of vasoconstrictors in local anesthetics for patients with cardiovascular disease and hyperthyroidism.

Determine if and when to discontinue anticoagulants in blood-producing procedures.

Evaluate the effect of new oral anticoagulants in treatment of atrial fibrillation for the prevention of blood clots and stroke on dental patients.

Explain the significance and use of the HbA1C test in diabetic patients.

Identify proper procedures for management of patients on steroids and patients on dialysis.

They further estimate that the average dentist will have one or more life threatening emergencies during his or her professional career and the number of these emer-gencies are on the rise. Most office emergencies are not life threatening but should be treated as such until proven otherwise. This 3 hour course will detail the preparation for medical emergencies including the necessary drugs, equipment and scheduled mock drills em-phasizing the duties of each team member in the management of the emergencies. The eleven most common medical emergencies will be de-tailed including prompt recognition of the signs and systems of these emergencies and an equally prompt treatment by the entire dental team. Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of this course, participants will:
