Medicine, Dentistry and Drugs (the cheatsheets lecture) Presented by Robert C. Fazio, D.M.D. | October 26, 2012 | Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park This chairside-friendly course is for the clinician seeing patients on a daily basis. It will focus on the principle drugs prescribed by dentists, including antibiotics for acute infections and for all antibiotic prophylaxis situations – including intra-cardiac devices, vascular grafts, dialysis accesses, the myriad intravenous devices, prosthetic joints and hydrocephalus shunts. Analgesics protocols for post-operative pain and local anesthetic options will be emphasized. The dentist is faced with an aging population with a myriad of medical problems and physician-prescribed medications. The purpose of this course is to provide the dentist with a framework for choosing antibiotics, analgesics, anesthetics and other top 50 dental prescriptions in the context of potential drug-drug interactions and disease-related complications of the medically-compromised patient. The impact of these medical issues on the dental treatment plan will also be emphasized.
Learning Objectives: 1. Develop algorithms for selecting antibiotics, analgesics and local anesthetics. 2. Recognize physician-prescribed medications’ potential for drug-drug interactions. 3. Know which systemic diseases and medications contradict or alter the dental treatment plan. 4. Understand the inconsistencies between national medical organizations’ guidelines.
