national and international reputation as the go-to specialist
for making pharmacology practical and useful for all members
of the dental team.
As the founder of Pharmacology Declassified, Tom provides
valuable insight on the complex interplay between pharmacology
and physiology so that clinicians may be knowledgeable about
not only the dental considerations of medications used to
treat systemic illness but also the systemic considerations of
medications used to provide dental treatment. As an educator,
Tom is a member of the faculty of over 10 dental professional
degree programs and has received several awards for
outstanding teacher of the year.
As an author, Tom is well known for his contributions to
several professional journals, has served as a contributor,

Course Summery:
Management of acute odontogenic pain is accomplished through a
clinical approach that successfully incorporates intraoperative
local anesthesia and a postoperative regimen of non-opioid and
opioid analgesics. However, improper and inappropriate use of both
local anesthetic agents and analgesics have the potential to
produce adverse outcomes for our patients. Thus, it is critical
for clinicians to accurately evaluate the need for pain control,
identify associated risks, and assess the efficacy of the agents
to be administered. This program will provide participants with an
overview of the pharmacology and therapeutics of local anesthetic
agents and analgesics. Special emphasis will be given to effective
perioperative pain management and best practices for prescribing
analgesics for postoperative pain control.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of the course participants will be able to:
|
- Discuss local anesthetic agents with
respect to their mechanisms of action, adverse effects,
contraindications and clinical considerations.
- Explain the rationale for the use of
vasoconstrictors and potential adverse effects.
- Describe the pharmacology and mechanism
of action of analgesics used in the management of acute dental
pain, including situations which may preclude their use.
- Discuss best practices for prescribing
analgesics, as well as proper storage and disposal of unused
dosages.
- Describe techniques useful in
recognizing and identifying potential opioid addiction and
current protocols for its treatment.

Course Summery:
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:
At the conclusion of the course participants will be able to:
|
-
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.

Course Summery:
The oral cavity is the gateway to the gastrointestinal and
respiratory tracts and a location in which the systemic and
mucosal immune systems intersect. The oral cavity and the nasal
passages are also the most common sites of infectious disease
entry and exit from the body. This session will examine the
contributions of the mucosal and systemic immune systems to oral
health, the roles of vaccines in preventing diseases in the upper
respiratory tract, and routes in which oral pathogens subvert the
immune response.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of the course participants will be able to:
-
Identify where immune responses that protect the oral cavity
are generated.
-
Describe how vaccines can protect from diseases that
manifest in the oral cavity.
-
Discuss reasons why some vaccines are more effective at
protecting against systemic disease than preventing
infections at mucosal surfaces.
-
Describe ways in which key oral pathogens are able to impair
or alter immune responses to their advantage.

Course Summery:
Oral health and nutrition have a bidirectional relationship, with
oral health status impacting what nutrients a person consumes and
nutrition affecting the overall health of the tissues in the
orofacial complex. This session will explore the impact of micro
and macronutrients, and over and undernourishment on the oral
microbiome, the immune response in the oral cavity, and the health
of the teeth, periodontium, and alveolar bone.
Learning Objectives:
-
Describe how changes in dietary habits impact the populations of
microbes in the oral cavity.
-
Discuss how altered macro and micronutrient status affects the
tissues of the oral cavity.
-
Identify ways in which systemic inflammatory conditions resulting
from poor diet exacerbate diseases in the oral cavity.
