In many cases, treatment efforts are met with less than desired success. To aid in patient acceptance, treatment concepts are presented for the partially and completely edentulous arch. Such situations are somewhat more likely to occur within the confines of the dental office due to the increased level of stress which is so often present. Dr. Hall discusses preparation, recognition and management of emergency situations that commonly occur in dentistry. This course is designed for all members of the dental office staff, not just the doctor and chairside personnel.
Situations discussed here can happen outside of the dental environment as well as in the office.
Focus on the diagnostic, anatomic and microbiological considerations related to routine odontogenic and maxillofacial infections encountered in practice with an emphasis on surgical management. In addition, Dr. Hall discusses the use of various chemotherapeutic agents, topical and systemic antibiotics and other antimicrobials in the treatment of infections.
