Emergency Medicine in Dentistry presented by Stanley F Malamed, DDS Life-threatening emergencies can occur any time, any where and to any one. 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. In this course Dr. Malamed will discuss the areas which are considered vital to a proper understanding of emergency medicine: prevention, preparation, and recognition and management. This will include a discussion of preparation involving the office and staff and includes a thorough review of the office emergency kit (drugs and equipment). Additionally, it will include the recognition and management of specific emergency situations and includes the management of unconciousness, respiratory distress, seizures, drug-related emergencies, and chest pain. 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. EVERYONE SHOULD BE PREPARED! It is strongly recommended that ALL members of the dental office staff attend this program.

Renaissance in Local Anesthesia presented by Stanley F Malamed, DDS Local anesthesia forms the backbone of pain control techniques in contemporary dental practice. The subject of pain control in dentistry has undergone a recent renewal of interest, a renaissance. In this program Doctor Malamed will present an in-depth discussion of the many aspects of this important area of daily dental practice. A major area of interest has been in the development of new local anesthetics, such as articaine, as well as the development; the soon-to-be released local anesthetic nasal mist for maxillary anesthesia; the introduction of a drug to reverse soft tissue anesthesia – phentolamine mesylate and buffered local anesthetics, producing a more rapid onset, more comfortable injection and more profound anesthesia. These and other areas of current research into improving pain control will be discussed. Local anesthetics are the safest & most effective drugs in medicine for the prevention & management of pain – when used correctly.
