The “Ultimate Cheat Sheets” Lecture: The Practical Guide for Dentists

This chair side 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 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.
