Member Price: $249.00
CE Credit(s): 2
Retail Price: $299.00
Course Created on: 05/11/2023
/education/ViewCourse.aspx?id=749|104050
Description:

NOTE: This is a livestreamed course. The link to the livesteam event will be emailed to you three business days before to the event.

Time: 9:00AM - 11:00AM CST
Date: June 20, 2023

Overview
There are many excellent diagnostic and treatment planning concepts in dentistry, but some important ones are not implanted into practice. One of the significant reasons is making a complete diagnostic data collection, treatment plan, and implementing the information requires significant time for the dentist and staff and reduces clinical productive time.
Reduction of time for these procedures for the dentist is easily possible by educating competent, motivated dental assistants and hygienists to do the diagnostic data collection.
This presentation includes topics included in complete data collection, how to educate staff and motivate patients, increase acceptance of treatment plans, and stimulate the staff persons with a new expanded function.
This course is designed for dentists.

On completion of this course, participants will be able to:
• List the components of a complete diagnostic data collection
• Indicate for which category of patients each component is necessary
• Motivate and activate staff persons to accomplish this procedure
• Implement diagnostic data collection by staff into your practice

 

Note to ADA CE Online Subscribers

Medical History Mastery: Essential Pharmacology for Treating Our Medically Complex Dental Patients
Author(s): Not Available
Member Price: $49.00
CE Credit(s): 1
Retail Price: $69.00
Course Created on: 05/01/2023
/education/ViewCourse.aspx?id=738|104039
Description:

Dental professionals must frequently draw upon their knowledge of pharmacology for optimal care of today’s medically complex dental patients. However, armed with relatively brief exposure to such a vast subject during formal education and faced with ever-changing medication therapy guidelines, many dental professionals simply cannot keep up with the latest trends in disease state management.

This program will provide an overview of the dental implications of the prescription medications, non-prescription medications, herbal products, nutritional supplements and substances of abuse most frequently used by patients. Special emphasis will be given to delivering this essential information in a format which makes it practical and useful for all members of the dental team.

Learning objectives

• Identify the prescription medications most frequently encountered on a patient’s medical history and discuss their indications for use, adverse reactions and impact on dental therapy.
• Discuss the non-prescription medications most often used by dental patients and explain their impact on dental therapy, including situations which preclude their use.
• Identify the most popular herbal products and nutritional supplements and discuss their purported uses and dental considerations.
• Identify the most common substances of abuse and describe their oral manifestations and dental treatment considerations.

Presenter: Thomas A. Viola, R.Ph., C.C.P.
