The administration of drugs is common in the practice of dentistry and oral surgery.
The majority of the drugs used in dentistry can be divided into four categories.
1. Local anesthetics2. Analgesics3. Antibiotics4. CNS Depressants

Used in the management of infections
![Page 6: R. John Brewer NREMT-P Dental Education Inc. · 2. Analgesics 3. Antibiotics 4. CNS Depressants Important part of the dental treatment plan when potentially painful procedures are](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022071020/5fd3a8e2a609b053f4454349/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Prescribed for all phases of the dental treatment for the prevention and management of dentistry related fears.
![Page 7: R. John Brewer NREMT-P Dental Education Inc. · 2. Analgesics 3. Antibiotics 4. CNS Depressants Important part of the dental treatment plan when potentially painful procedures are](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022071020/5fd3a8e2a609b053f4454349/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Whenever a drug is administered, a rational purpose should exist for its use.
Indiscriminate administration of drugs is one of the major reasons the number of incidents of serious or life threatening emergencies in the medical and dental office have increased.
![Page 8: R. John Brewer NREMT-P Dental Education Inc. · 2. Analgesics 3. Antibiotics 4. CNS Depressants Important part of the dental treatment plan when potentially painful procedures are](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022071020/5fd3a8e2a609b053f4454349/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
It is estimated well over 100,000 patients have died in hospitals due to adverse drug reactions.
It is estimated that over 2 million patients have suffered serious but non fatal adverse drug reactions.
![Page 9: R. John Brewer NREMT-P Dental Education Inc. · 2. Analgesics 3. Antibiotics 4. CNS Depressants Important part of the dental treatment plan when potentially painful procedures are](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022071020/5fd3a8e2a609b053f4454349/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Toxicology is the study of the harmful effects of chemicals on biological systems. These effects range from minor to serious, or even cause death.
Whenever a drug is administered, two types of reactions may be noted.
- Desirable drug reaction- undesirable drug reaction
![Page 10: R. John Brewer NREMT-P Dental Education Inc. · 2. Analgesics 3. Antibiotics 4. CNS Depressants Important part of the dental treatment plan when potentially painful procedures are](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022071020/5fd3a8e2a609b053f4454349/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
General principles of toxicology
- No drug ever exerts a single action.
- No useful drug is entirely devoid of toxicity.
- The potential toxicity of the drug rests in the hand of the user.
![Page 11: R. John Brewer NREMT-P Dental Education Inc. · 2. Analgesics 3. Antibiotics 4. CNS Depressants Important part of the dental treatment plan when potentially painful procedures are](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022071020/5fd3a8e2a609b053f4454349/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Our goal is to give the correct drug in the correct dose, via the correct route to the correct patient at the correct time for the correct reason.
It is very important you know about the drugs that you have in the office or prescribe to the patient.
![Page 12: R. John Brewer NREMT-P Dental Education Inc. · 2. Analgesics 3. Antibiotics 4. CNS Depressants Important part of the dental treatment plan when potentially painful procedures are](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022071020/5fd3a8e2a609b053f4454349/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Most Adverse drug reactions do not pose a threat to the patients life.
There are three responses to drugs that are life threatening:
- Overdose reaction- Allergic reaction- Idiosyncrasy reaction
![Page 13: R. John Brewer NREMT-P Dental Education Inc. · 2. Analgesics 3. Antibiotics 4. CNS Depressants Important part of the dental treatment plan when potentially painful procedures are](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022071020/5fd3a8e2a609b053f4454349/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
A condition that results from exposure to toxic amounts of a substance that does not cause adverse effects when given in smaller amounts .
![Page 14: R. John Brewer NREMT-P Dental Education Inc. · 2. Analgesics 3. Antibiotics 4. CNS Depressants Important part of the dental treatment plan when potentially painful procedures are](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022071020/5fd3a8e2a609b053f4454349/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Defined as a hypersensitive response to an allergen to which the individual has been previously exposed, and now has developed antibodies.
Allergic reaction is possible with any drug or substance.
![Page 15: R. John Brewer NREMT-P Dental Education Inc. · 2. Analgesics 3. Antibiotics 4. CNS Depressants Important part of the dental treatment plan when potentially painful procedures are](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022071020/5fd3a8e2a609b053f4454349/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The drugs and substances most likely to cause allergic reactions.
- Aspirin- Penicillin- Bisulfites- Latex
![Page 16: R. John Brewer NREMT-P Dental Education Inc. · 2. Analgesics 3. Antibiotics 4. CNS Depressants Important part of the dental treatment plan when potentially painful procedures are](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022071020/5fd3a8e2a609b053f4454349/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
An individuals unique hypersensitivity to a particular drug, food, or other substance.
Management is to position the patient, ABC’S are vital.
![Page 17: R. John Brewer NREMT-P Dental Education Inc. · 2. Analgesics 3. Antibiotics 4. CNS Depressants Important part of the dental treatment plan when potentially painful procedures are](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022071020/5fd3a8e2a609b053f4454349/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The major cause of drug related emergency situations in the dental office is the “administration” of local anesthetics.
Although true Adverse reactions occur ,most reactions are related to the injection(seeing the needle)
![Page 18: R. John Brewer NREMT-P Dental Education Inc. · 2. Analgesics 3. Antibiotics 4. CNS Depressants Important part of the dental treatment plan when potentially painful procedures are](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022071020/5fd3a8e2a609b053f4454349/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Syncope and hyperventilation are the most common “drug related” emergencies.
These episodes usually result from emotional stress receiving the local, not from the drug itself.
![Page 19: R. John Brewer NREMT-P Dental Education Inc. · 2. Analgesics 3. Antibiotics 4. CNS Depressants Important part of the dental treatment plan when potentially painful procedures are](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022071020/5fd3a8e2a609b053f4454349/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Locals is the most widely used drugs , are the safest, and most effective drugs for the prevention, and management of pain.
It is important to stress again that most adverse drug reactions to locals are a result of the administration, not the drug.
![Page 20: R. John Brewer NREMT-P Dental Education Inc. · 2. Analgesics 3. Antibiotics 4. CNS Depressants Important part of the dental treatment plan when potentially painful procedures are](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022071020/5fd3a8e2a609b053f4454349/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The next most common adverse drug reaction is the toxic reaction. This is produced by a relative overdose secondary to accidental intravascular injection.
True documented allergic reactions to locals is extremely rare.
![Page 21: R. John Brewer NREMT-P Dental Education Inc. · 2. Analgesics 3. Antibiotics 4. CNS Depressants Important part of the dental treatment plan when potentially painful procedures are](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022071020/5fd3a8e2a609b053f4454349/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Prescribed to treat established active infections
Should only be used when indicated due to resistant bacteria strains and allergies.
![Page 22: R. John Brewer NREMT-P Dental Education Inc. · 2. Analgesics 3. Antibiotics 4. CNS Depressants Important part of the dental treatment plan when potentially painful procedures are](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022071020/5fd3a8e2a609b053f4454349/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Pain relieving drugs make up a significant portion of scripts written by dentists.
![Page 23: R. John Brewer NREMT-P Dental Education Inc. · 2. Analgesics 3. Antibiotics 4. CNS Depressants Important part of the dental treatment plan when potentially painful procedures are](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022071020/5fd3a8e2a609b053f4454349/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Two categories of analgesics
mild- non opioid
strong opioid
![Page 24: R. John Brewer NREMT-P Dental Education Inc. · 2. Analgesics 3. Antibiotics 4. CNS Depressants Important part of the dental treatment plan when potentially painful procedures are](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022071020/5fd3a8e2a609b053f4454349/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Mild- asa, ibuprofen, Tylenol
Strong- Opioid- codeine, demerol, diludid, vicodin oxycontin
![Page 25: R. John Brewer NREMT-P Dental Education Inc. · 2. Analgesics 3. Antibiotics 4. CNS Depressants Important part of the dental treatment plan when potentially painful procedures are](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022071020/5fd3a8e2a609b053f4454349/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Adverse drug reactions to the mild analgesics are GI upset, nausea, constipation, itching
Adverse drug reactions to the opioids are nausea, vomiting, and orthostatic hypotension, respiratory depression, respiratory arrest.
![Page 26: R. John Brewer NREMT-P Dental Education Inc. · 2. Analgesics 3. Antibiotics 4. CNS Depressants Important part of the dental treatment plan when potentially painful procedures are](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022071020/5fd3a8e2a609b053f4454349/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Aspirin, Tylenol and Codeine remain the most commonly prescribed drugs.
![Page 27: R. John Brewer NREMT-P Dental Education Inc. · 2. Analgesics 3. Antibiotics 4. CNS Depressants Important part of the dental treatment plan when potentially painful procedures are](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022071020/5fd3a8e2a609b053f4454349/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The use of these drugs for all phases of dental care has increased significantly over the years.
The most common drugs prescribed is the benzodiazepines.

An overdose of a local is related to the blood level of the local in the myocardium and Central nervous system.
There are several factors which influence the rate at which blood levels increase or for which blood levels remain elevated. These factors could be drug or patient related.
![Page 30: R. John Brewer NREMT-P Dental Education Inc. · 2. Analgesics 3. Antibiotics 4. CNS Depressants Important part of the dental treatment plan when potentially painful procedures are](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022071020/5fd3a8e2a609b053f4454349/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Normal distribution curve. This is where the majority of patients
responds appropriate with “normal dose”, However some are less responsive, and some become more responsive to the local.
![Page 31: R. John Brewer NREMT-P Dental Education Inc. · 2. Analgesics 3. Antibiotics 4. CNS Depressants Important part of the dental treatment plan when potentially painful procedures are](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022071020/5fd3a8e2a609b053f4454349/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
AgeDue to absorption, metabolism, and excretion
drug doses should be decreased for patients under 6 years and over 65 years.
- Weight > Lean body weight more of the drug the patient can tolerate.
***A lack of consideration of body weight is one of the major causes of overdose reactions.

Pathological processPresence of Pre-existing disease may alter
bodies ability to transform a drug into a biologically inactive substance.
Patients with CHF demonstrate blood levels of locals 2x those found in healthy patients receiving the same dose.
![Page 33: R. John Brewer NREMT-P Dental Education Inc. · 2. Analgesics 3. Antibiotics 4.

GeneticsIt is been reported that there are certain
individuals that possess genetic deficiencies that alter their response to certain drugs.

AttitudeIt has been shown that the seizure threshold for
locals is lowered in patients who are overly stressed.
![Page 36: R. John Brewer NREMT-P Dental Education Inc. · 2. Analgesics 3. Antibiotics 4. CNS Depressants Important part of the dental treatment plan when potentially painful procedures are](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022071020/5fd3a8e2a609b053f4454349/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
VasoactivityLocals that are more lipid soluble and more
highly protein bound are retained longer, therefore having a slower absorption rate. This increases the margin of safety.
The greater the degree of vasodilatation, the more rapid the local is absorbed.

Dosage : The larger the dose the higher the peak blood
level.

Route of Administration:Inadvertent intravascular is the factor that
causes most overdoses.
![Page 39: R. John Brewer NREMT-P Dental Education Inc. · 2. Analgesics 3. Antibiotics 4.

Rate of InjectionThe rate of injection is vital in the cause or
prevention, of overdose reactions to all drugs.
![Page 40: R. John Brewer NREMT-P Dental Education Inc. · 2. Analgesics 3. Antibiotics 4. CNS Depressants Important part of the dental treatment plan when potentially painful procedures are](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022071020/5fd3a8e2a609b053f4454349/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Local Anesthetic overdose reactions can result from the combination of inadvertent intravascular injection, combined with too rapid a rate of ingestion.
Both 100% preventable

Management is based on its severity. -again most cases are mild in nature requiring
little or no treatment. Most local overdoses again are self limiting.
Rarely should you go beyond just administering a little 02.
Over treatment has the potential to become a problem.

It is imperative when administering a local, that the patient remain under continual observation, during and after administration of the local.
Again mild local reactions, will begin in 5-10 minutes following injection.

If signs symptoms appear immediately (seconds to 1 minute)intravascular injection is the most likely cause.
Clinical findings are going to be much more severe and rapid.
Patient may immediately become unconscious, and have seizures.

Whenever CNS-depressant drugs are administered, the possibility exists that an exaggerated degree of CNS depression may develop.
There have been several deaths both Adult and Pediatric due to this.

The clinical efficacy of a drug is dependent on its absorption into the cardiovascular system and its blood levels in different target organs.(Brain)
Only the inhalation and IV routes of drug administration permit titration of the drug to a precise clinical effect.
Drug absorption via oral or IM is erratic.

The use of a CNS depressant to obtain deep sedation via a route of administration in which titration is not possible is an invitation to overdose and cannot be recommended.

Over sedation and respiratory depression are the primary clinical findings. However they may have :
- Altered level of consciousness- Constricted pupils

A majority of the overdoses involve the administration of more than one drug.
Whenever more than one CNS depressant drug is administered, the doses of both drugs must be reduced to prevent exaggerated, undesirable effects.
A reminder that locals are CNS depressants themselves.

When administering locals in conjunction with CNS depressants, the dose of the local anesthetic should be minimized.
Ensuring a cooperative patient who maintains protective reflexes is the primary goal of sedation.

Be prepared for emergencies Individualize drug dosages Recognize and expect adverse drug effects
Common Factors to those offices that had deaths:
-Improper preoperative evaluation - lack of knowledge of drug pharmacology - lack of adequate monitoring.
