Dental Emergencies: HAEMORRHAGE — Click for Presenters' Bios
Duration: 2 Hours Cost: $29.95 CDE Credits: 2
In this program, we will review the physiology of blood clotting, and present the causes of excessive bleeding most commonly encountered in the dental practice.
Bleeding is an expected response to tissue injury, including both accidental trauma and trauma created by dental surgery. If normal coagulation does not occur in a timely manner, haemorrhage, or severe bleeding may result. In every dental procedure, every effort must be made to minimize bleeding and ensure haemostasis to prevent postoperative haemorrhage.

Dental Emergencies: INFECTION — Click for Presenters' Bios
Duration: 2 Hours Cost: $29.95 CDE Credits: 2
In this program, we will cover the principles of treating infection and cover many common infections that may present as an emergency in a dental office.
Oral infections can be odontogenic in nature or periodontal. If not treated properly and promptly, oral infections may become life threatening situations. Of primary concern is the prevention and management of advanced infection.

Novel Management of the Periodontal Patient: Surgery and Beyond — Dr. H.C. Tenenbaum
Duration: 25 minutes Cost: $19.95 CDE Credits: 1
New approaches to managing difficult periodontal patients.
Most patients who have periodontitis respond to routine management, which can include scaling and root planning, periodontal flap surgery (regenerative or respective) and, when treatment fails, the placement of endosseous implants. In general 80% of patients will respond to routine therapy, but the problem remains: what do we do about those who do not respond? Are there new developments currently available or on the horizon that will also later what we now accept as being routine therapy, meaning that more patients will respond to treatment and that treatment might either be less invasive, or more predictable, or both?
There is mounting evidence that patients who so-called refractory periodontitis might be hyper-immune. As such, novel approaches to managing these patients will likely include host modulation therapy (using a collagenase inhibitor such as Periostat®), anti-inflammatory treatment (in combination with host modulation therapy), both of which can be combined with mechanical treatment (scaling and root planning and /or surgery) to effect better outcomes.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand refractory periodontitis and the novel approaches available for better outcomes
- Review the administration and side effects of both systemic and locally administered antimicrobial (LAAs)
- Identify the needs for adjunctive topical therapies for the patient when clinical improvements of periodontitis have been observed
- Identify new trends in therapy, their potential for complications and the potential for a novel approach to managing periodontitis
- Understand how novel periodontal therapies might impact general health
