SUMMARY:Virtual Act 124\, Opioid-Sparing Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Register for this Event\nAct 124 – Evidence Based Analgesia and Opioid-Sparing Strategies for Dental Professionals\nPresented by Elliot V. Hersh\, DMD\, MS\, PhD\, a Professor of Pharmacology/Oral Surgery at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine who has published more than 175 scientific articles\, abstracts and book chapters in the areas of dental pharmacology\, drug interactions\, analgesics and local anethesia. His clinical research in the areas of acute postsurgical pain control and local anesthesia played an important role in FDA approval of many products. Dr. Hersh does not have any relevant financial relations to disclose.\n\nThis lecture will fulfill the Act 124 CE requirement for PA licensed dentists with a DEA registration.\nDr. Hersh will identify the potential problem in prescribing opioids for dental postsurgical pain and other painful dental conditions; discuss the behavior of the “drug seeking patient” and the prescription opioid abuse problem. The biochemical and physiological mechanisms behind post-surgical dental pain will be reviewed. The lecture also will include a discussion of various double-blind randomized controlled trials on the efficacy of various analgesic agents following the surgical removal of impacted third molar teeth. The final portionof the course will focus on meta-analysis data for various analgesics in both dental pain and other post-surgical pain models. “In other words…which analgesics consistently lead the pack and which are consistently dogs.”\nUpon completion of the course\, the participant will:\n \n\nDiscuss what can happen with even short-term exposure to opioids.\nList various peripheral chemical mediators that contribute to post-surgical dental pain.\nCompare the analgesic efficacy of NSAIDs to single entity oral opioids in randomized placebo controlled double-blind oral surgery pain studies.\nCompare the short-term side effect profile of NSAIDs versus opioids.\nDiscuss the potential opioid-sparing effect of combining and NSAID with acetaminophen and of employing 0.5% bupivavaine plus 1:200\,000 epinephrine post-surgically. \nDiscuss meta-analysis data on the numbers needed treat (NNT) to obtain one additional patient with at least 50% maximum pain relief beyond the placebo treatment.\n\n \nDATE: Wednesday\, January 27\, 2027\nTIME: 7 – 9 p.m. Live Webinar on Zoom\nFEES: $30 – PDA/ADA member dentists and non-dentist dental team members (hygienists\, EFDAs or non-licensed team members); $90 – Non-member dentists\nCE CREDIT: 2 CE Credits required for dentists\, hygienists and EFDAs.
