When patients ask “What products should I use for better oral health?”, dental practitioners should be able to provide evidence based answers! When they are taking medications and present with changes in oral tissues, are these changes medication related? This program is designed to help dental practitioners update their patients with information on the latest therapeutic, non-prescription oral healthcare products as well as prescribed products and to facilitate the identification of oral manifestations of systemic medications. This program will also review recent developments in chemotherapeutic oral health care, as well as updating periodontal considerations for implants.

Learning Objectives:

· Recognize oral manifestations of systemic medications.

· Understand the impact of systemic medications on dental therapy.

· Understand the role of mouth rinses, dentifrices and oral care products in patient therapy.

· Understand the role of antibiotics as adjuncts to periodontal therapy.

· Understand periodontal considerations for implants.

Recommended for... Dentists and Hygienists.
