OVERVIEW
Advanced Local Anesthesia Technique is organized by Loma Linda University School of Dentistry (LLUSD) and would be held on Nov 05, 2017 at Loma Linda University School of Dentistry, Loma Linda, California, United States of America.
The target audience for this medical event basically for Dentist and Anesthesiologists. This CME Conference has been approved with a maximum of 8.00 Credits.
Mandibular block anesthetic technique poses a very different set of challenges when compared to infiltration in the maxilla. The reasons for failure can be multiple and the inter-active performance of the dentist, hygienist, patient, armamentarium and the choice of the local anesthetic product all can lead to an unpredictable success rate. How can a dentist and hygienist maximize success? The neuro-anatomy and histology of the pterygomandibular triangle will be reviewed to help enhance the understanding of the complexities of the conventional inferior alveolar block and its associated lingual and buccal nerve blocks.
After a thorough assessment of the pros and cons of the “standard” block, the Akinosi and Gow-Gates mandibular blocks will be visited and then amalgamated in a mixed or hybrid approach, which include not only a combination of placement areas but also suggestions of enhancing onset and effectiveness by mixing and matching various local anesthetic products themselves. Multi-tasking supplementation with infiltrative and advanced techniques combined with other “tips and tricks” can result in a predictably higher success rate. In particular, infiltrative approaches to mandibular molars will be discussed as well as addressing these three questions:
1. What may be outside of our control? (translation: Don’t beat yourself up!)
2. What can we do about it?
3. What's new on the market
Conference Objectives are :
After this presentation the attendees will be able to:
• Appreciate the anatomy of local anesthesia.
• Multitask with combinations of techniques, volume and make intelligent choices as to which local anesthetics might be used and when.
• Apply 12 tips and tricks learned over 30+ years.
• Assess and critique case reports and respond to, "What would you do now, Doctor?"
• Take their hands-on workshop experience back to their offices for immediate modification or implementation
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
