SUMMARY:Drug Interactions\, Radiation Safety and HIPAA Compliance
DESCRIPTION:Three Serious Drug Interactions PLUS Radiation Safety and HIPAA Compliance \n6 CE credits appropriate for dentists\, hygienists\, assistants and EFDAs.\nEducation Method: powerpoint\, lecture and discussion \nRadiation Safety – This course meets the training requirements for every dental x-ray operator as outlined in Pennsylvania Code\, Title 25\, Section 221.11.\nHIPAA in the Dental Office – This course covers the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and the requirements that dental offices have under that Act.\nPresented by Autumn Bupp\, manager of the Western PA branch of Clym Environmental Services\, where she oversees the areas of compliance\, medical waste management\, and confidential document destruction.

Serious drug interactions may occur in the dental patient because of drugs the dentist prescribes or administers. The dentist may also experience adverse drug interactions from medications they are taking for various medical conditions. their associated vasoconstrictors have had a long history of safety and efficacy in dental practice. However\, pediatric dental patients are especially vulnerable to overdose reactions with this group of drugs. The speaker will illustrate how to perform these dosage calculations including “The Rule of 25.” A potentially serious drug interaction between epinephrine containing local anesthetic solutions and non-selective beta-adrenergic blocking agents also will be highlighted. Research evaluating the efficacy and safety of phentolamine mesylate will be discussed along with the limitations of the intranasal tetracaine plus oxymetazoline mist.\nPresented by Elliot V. Hersh\, DMD\, MS\, PhD\, Professor of Pharmacology/Oral Surgery at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine. He has published more than 175 scientific articles\, abstracts and book chapters in the areas of dental pharmacology\, drug interactions\, analgesics and local anesthetics.
