Infection control in dentistry is a growing concern. The dental environment presents a relative risk of both acquisition and transmission of an infectious disease to the patient.  Additional concerns arise from cross-contamination, contaminated water lines, antibiotic resistant bacteria and complex infections.  Appropriate antibiotics stewardship is the hallmark for appropriate care for patients.

Practitioners are caring for an aging population that often present with complex medical histories. The rules for appropriate patient management are constantly changing. BRONJ (bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw) is now MRONJ (medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw). Total joint replacement patients no longer need premedication. Patients on Coumadin and other blood thinners do not always need to stop medications prior to dental treatment. This course will discuss current recommendations for appropriate management of patients with these and other various medical issues.

The ADA, State and Federal Government, as well as lay media, are concerned and highlighting the excessive use of narcotics and other addictive medications in dentistry. Dr. Maron will lead a discussion on current recommendations in pain management for the dental patient. We will discuss oral sedation, the current future requirements for state anesthesia certification and post-op pain control. From premedication to local anesthesia, staying abreast of the latest protocols is critical for ideal pain control.
