THE RENAISSANCE OF LOCAL ANESTHESIA
Local anesthesia forms the backbone of pain control techniques in contemporary dental practice. The subject of pain control in dentistry has recently undergone a renewal of interest, a renaissance of sorts. In this program Doctor Malamed will present an in-depth look at many aspects of this important area of daily dental practice.
In the morning session, we will look at dentistry’s most important drugs – local anesthetics, reviewing the clinical differences amongst them and the significant advantages of dentistry’s newest local anesthetic – articaine. Buffering of local anesthetics and reversing local anesthesia are also discussed.
Local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST) (also known as ‘overdose’ will be discussed in the AM session as well.
The afternoon session looks at techniques, both maxillary and mandibular. Emphasis will be placed on the mandible as the traditional inferior alveolar nerve block (NB) has a depressing low success rate. Alternative approaches to effective mandibular anesthesia will be reviewed, including the Gow-Gates mandibular NB, PDL, Intraosseous anesthesia, the use of articaine by mandibular infiltration, and buffered local anesthetics. The question to be answered is: “Is the Mandibular Block Passé?”

WHAT EVERY DENTIST NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT THE MANAGEMENT OF TEMPOROMANDIBULAR DISORDERS – THE FACTS AND THE FANTASIES
Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a group of musculoskeletal disorders of the masticatory system. These disorders are common, and dentists are the primary care providers. Therefore, every dentist should have a sound understanding of TMD so that the most appropriate care will be selected for the patient. Often simple care can make big differences in the patient’s quality of life. This presentation will describe the present evidence that helps guide the clinician to best treatment for TMD. Attempts will be made to separate the facts from the fantasies in the area of TMD.
What You Will Learn:
- To identify those pain disorders that will likely respond to your therapy from those that will not.
- How to differentiate TMD from other sources of orofacial pain.
- The relationship between occlusion and temporomandibular disorders.
- The relationship between bruxism and muscle pain.
- The most favorable orthopedically stable relationship between the occlusion and condylar position for orthodontic prosthodontic and therapy.
- The appropriate use of occlusal appliance therapy for muscle pain and joint pain.
- When an occlusal appliance reduces the patient’s TMD symptoms, what do you next?
- When to consider referring the TMD patient to another health care provider.
