Clues to Your Patients' Health: The Most Commonly Prescribed Medications and Their Impact on Dental Treatment
Dr. Hal Crossley
Your patients are living longer thanks to their medications but many of the physician-prescribed medications used by your patients have dental implications and side effects affecting your treatment plan. What dental medication should never be prescribed for a patient taking clopidogrel (Plavix)? How do I manage patients who have had placement of a stent and require surgery? Can the newer blood thinners be reversed? Some medications can cause a “burning mouth syndrome” and others may cause sexual dysfunction. Should I use caution when prescribing NSAIDs for patients with existing cardiovascular disease? Is antibiotic prophylaxis required for patients with orthopedic prostheses? What is the most important dental implication of treating a patient who is under the influence of marijuana?
This presentation includes the indications, contraindications, and side effects of the most common physician- prescribed medications. Many of these medications were not approved when you took your pharmacology course in dental school. Familiarity with these drugs will provide the dental practitioner with a better appreciation for the health profile of your dental patient.
At the conclusion of this course, the attendees will know:
- Prescription, OTC medications, and foods that could adversely interact with dental drugs.
- Why your patient is taking their medications.
- What oral side effects may be caused by these medications.
- Some of the indications for medical marijuana.
- Maximum doses for commonly prescribed pain medications.
- When not to prescribe NSAIDs.
- How to manage patients taking some of the newer anticoagulant medications.
- How to combine analgesics to maximize their effects.
- Current recommendations for SBE and orthopedic prosthesis prophylaxis.
