TPJJ1: Pain and Anxiety: When Traditional Patient Management Fails
This interactive section will discuss treatment options and scenarios when local anesthesia and/or nitrous oxide fail to provide effective pain and anxiety control, or when a patients medical history (such as cardiovascular disease, dementia, anxiety and diabetes) dictates altering the course of care. A panel of American Dental Board of Anesthesiology diplomats will discuss situations in which patient management fails outside the traditional treatment box. Participants are encouraged to share their own case scenarios.
