COURSE OVERVIEW
Patients are living longer, and they have gotten smarter when it comes to dental treatment. Seniors are seeking more advanced dentistry, and as a result, they have become a very large part of the dental practice. There is no getting around this fact, if you practice dentistry, you will treat senior patients. Advancements in medical/surgical treatment and pharmaceuticals have resulted in more patients with significant medical histories and extensive medication lists. Among the graying of America’s population will produce millions of individuals with systemic medical conditions (potential Red Flags). The dental management of these medically compromised patients can be an issue dependent on what disease(s) they may have and their overall health. Can they safely have dental treatment in my office?
This program focuses on several medically compromised disease states that dentists might encounter in daily practice that necessitate extra knowledge and care to prevent potential complications causing otherwise unnecessary morbidity and mortality. These include diabetes, multiple drug interactions, cardiac abnormalities, liver disease, kidney disease just to name a few.
The first step in managing the patient with extensive medical problems is acquiring a thorough health history; the second step is for the dentist to fully understand the significance of the disease that the patient may have. Each identified medical condition could affect dental treatment in a unique way. For example, due to this patient’s medical condition, can you safely use local anesthetic with vasoconstrictor? The dentist needs to understand the potential complications that can occur because of dental treatment of the medically compromised patient. Knowing the Red Flags will assist the dentist and their team Before treatment is rendered on these patients.
This program will also assist the dentist and their team on Medical Emergency Preparedness through development of the 5R Emergency Response Plan, the CANAL acronym, the foundation of medical emergency management.
Some medically compromised patients should only be treated in a hospital setting or ASC and that will be addressed in this program.
