The opioid overdose epidemic continues, evolving and presenting ongoing challenges to practicing clinicians in today’s environment. During this on-demand webinar, recorded October 1, 2020, learn what is new and changing and how it applies to your clinical practice: dosing for over-the-counter combinations of ibuprofen and acetaminophen, how to achieve meaningful pain relief for your patients, and emerging information on the genetics of pain. This on-demand webinar will inform dentists and suggest how they can effectively stay current in managing their patients’ pain.
Upon completion of the archived webinar participants will:
- Recognize the therapeutic advantages, increased risks and appropriate dosing for combinations of an NSAID and acetaminophen for the management of acute dental pain.
- Practice the prevention and management of acute pain with minimal use of opioid-containing analgesics.
- Differentiate meaningful pain relief from the patient’s perspective from the risks of exposure to opioids that may precipitate substance misuse in vulnerable individuals.
