Credits: 1.0
AGD Code(s): 340

Local anesthetics form the backbone of pain control techniques in dentistry. Used properly, local anesthetics are the safest and most effective drugs for the prevention and management of peri- and post-operative pain. This Quality Resource Guide (QRG) provides an evidence-based review of the evolution and clinical characteristics of local anesthetic solutions available in North America and discusses their differences in metabolism. An in-depth discussion of local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST), its prevention, recognition and management provide guidance that should be periodically reviewed by all dental practitioners. Recent advances in local anesthetics, including articaine, the use of buffering solutions and the role of phentolamine in reversing local anesthesia are thoroughly assessed. The QRG will serve as an important update resource for practitioners administering local anesthetics and a useful periodic review.

Medical Emergencies: Preparation and Management (7th Edition)

AGD Code(s): 130

When it comes to the subject of management of medical emergencies, the person most frequently associated with the topic is Dr. Stanley Malamed.  The seventh edition of this guide reflects the updated AHA Guidelines for CPR, along with the basic essentials. Beginning with an explicit description of how to prepare a dental office including the assignment of responsibilities to various members of the dental team, Dr. Malamed proceeds to describe the minimally essential drugs and equipment that should be readily available to manage those situations we hope will never occur. The Guide concludes with a description of the steps to be taken should the need arise. An algorithm in diagram form showing these steps is included in such a way as to facilitate duplication for posting.  A table that summarizes the preparation of the dental team can also be produced and aid in identifying the individuals in the office who will assume specific responsibilities.  This Guide is intended for everyone working in the dental office and can serve as the basis for discussion of roles during periodic training.
