Treatment Considerations for the Management of the Geriatric and Special Needs Patient
presented by Robert M. Peskin, DDS, DADBA, FAGD, FACD, FICD
Education Methods: lecture, slides, case presentations and discussion
3 CE credits recommended for dentists, hygienists, EFDAs and dental assistants
Registration Fees by April 1:
$135 PDA/ADA member dentists
$75 enrollees in a PA residency program
$125 PDA life/retired members
$115 non-dentist staff

This presentation will address many of the challenges dentists confront in providing dental care for both the geriatric and special needs patient as well as the obstacles that link these two disparate yet in many ways, similar patient cohorts. Identifying the many underlying medical conditions and comorbidities afflicting these complex patients and their impact on anesthetic management will be reviewed. In addition, balancing the skill and expertise of the dental provider against the extent of treatment necessary and the capacity of the setting to provide a proper and safe environment will be explored. The presentation also will include case presentations that underscore the unique issues that can confront and confound dentists and demand timely and effective management.
Upon completion of the course, the participant will:
- Have an appreciation for the many complex medical comorbidities that are characteristic of the geriatric and special needs patient.
- Understand the considerations factored into formulating an appropriate management plan including the potential need for anesthetic intervention and determination of the proper treatment venue.
- Have an algorithm for confronting the unanticipated challenges that can spontaneously arise from the treatment of these very challenging patient cohorts.
