If there is one universal truth shared between both dental providers and patients, it is this: EVERYBODY hates ‘The Shot. However, it does not have to be that way!
Injection failure not only causes unnecessary patient discomfort and apprehension, but it can also frustrate providers. The causes are varied: patient-specific considerations, varied anatomical modifications, and injection technique.
Now for the good news. In this interactive, engaging course, Katrina Sanders, RDH, M.Ed. guides participants through the common causes of injection failure, including anatomical and physiological conditions. Explore techniques used in private practice, including appropriate doses of anesthesia, anatomical and armamentarium considerations.
We’ll also discover alternative injection techniques and discuss new trends in the provision of pain management. Building on a solid basis of anatomy, attendees will learn how to deliver and troubleshoot local alternative injections- safely and effectively.
Special Note: This anesthesia course can be co-presented as a full-day program alongside pharmacist Dr. Thomas Viola (L221), offering a comprehensive approach to anesthesia management and pharmacology for an enriched learning experience. We highly recommend you attend L221 in the morning, but it is not mandatory.
Fee: October-December: $90 January-February: $130
Learning Objectives:
Review indications, relevant anatomy and technique factors of common dental injections, including identifying the physiological and anatomical considerations that may lead to inadequate anesthesia.
Develop critical thinking skills for troubleshooting local anesthetic delivery.
Discover alternative injection techniques and new trends in the delivery of local anesthesia.
