Can you hear the pharmacology whisper? Dental professionals are challenged to provide safe treatment to medically complex patients. Clinicians must be aware of the medical considerations of drugs used in dental practices as well as the dental considerations of drugs used in medical practices. This program will present an overview of selected medications prescribed or administered in the practice of dentistry whose actions, effects, or interactions may also have an impact on systemic illness.

Learning Objectives:

Describe the pharmacology of analgesics and appropriate prescribing practices for managing dental pain
Discuss local anesthetic agents regarding mechanism of action, adverse effects, and contraindications
Examine the pharmacology of anti-infective agents commonly used in dentistry and clinical considerations
