Lecture Information
“Sedating the Pediatric Patient”, Parts I & II
By David L. Rothman, DMD
This course will review the current practice and recommendations for pediatric minimal and moderate sedation. Understanding your patient and their family is key as is utilizing both pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic therapies for successful sedations. We will begin with a basis in psychology, physiology and pharmacology and progress through monitoring, drug selection and office protocols. Despite best practice, sedation and medical emergencies can and will happen. A review of identification and immediate intervention will round out the course. This eight-hour course is structured to meet many states' requirements for renewal of sedation permits. Please check with your state board for applicability.
The Course Includes:
- Guidelines, Laws and Regulations
- Choosing the Child for Sedation
- Anatomic and Physiologic Differences of Child v. Adult
- Pharmacology and Drug Interactions
- Local Anesthesia as an Adjunct to Pediatric Sedations
- Documents and Documentation
- Monitors and Monitoring
- Sedation Drug Choices/Pros and Cons
- Post-treatment and Discharge Criteria
- Emergency Preparedness, Protocols and Intervention
“Another Frontier, The Glass Ionomer Family: An Alternate Material to Consider for the treatment of Caries in Primary Teeth”
By Jed Best, DDS, MS
Since the February 2022 issue of Clinicians Report, the use of Resin Modified Glass Ionomers and conventional Glass Ionomers as restorative materials for primary teeth has been a topic of conversation. This talk will discuss the history of these two classes of materials, their use in pediatric dentistry, and their unique role in preventive dentistry. Finally, most interestingly, I will discuss an alternative way of command setting Glass Ionomers that may decrease the setting time and increase its use in clinical dentistry.
