Course Description Content Summary:  Have you given up your sedation permit because of the myriad of mandated dental board requirements? Do you need a refresher course on the basic concepts of administering local anesthesia in dental patients? Is missing an inferior alveolar dental block on a daily basis causing you and your staff issues regarding treatment? If so, there is no need to fear, because this continuing dental education program will boost your local anesthesia skills so that missing blocks and not infiltrating solution properly will be a thing of the past. This program will review the basic pharmacology of local anesthetics, and their application for a specific type of patient. Clinicians can obtain profound local anesthesia in their patients by simply reviewing the basic tenets in this program. The course will display two patient types exhibiting problematic local anesthesia issues and to demonstrate how dentists can overcome these problems. Two clinical cases will be presented to help the participant compare and contrast problems relating to missed inferior alveolar blocks and infiltration issues.
