Course Description

Allergies: Increasing Population Incidence and Their Challenges to Health Care
A wide variety of natural and manufactured agents have been shown to induce allergic reactions. Upon completion of this course, the participant should understand that virtually every chemical, drug and dental material employed in the dental office has been known to induce allergic reactions in both clinical personnel and patients. Clinicians should be prepared for potential challenges that an increasing percentage of allergic patients present during dental treatment. Comprehension of the classes of hypersensitive reactions, clinical manifestations, and principles associated with development and treatment of allergies are thus required for clinician understanding and effective managements. Discussion will also include immunological mechanisms and manifestations of allergic reactions associated with commonly used materials and latex products, as well as evolving prevention strategies.

Course Objectives

At the completion of this course the participants should be able to:

1. Consider the multi-faceted aspects of clinical hypersensitivity reactions
2. Understand that certain allergic reactions are directly observable in the oro-facial tissues and that practitioners will be treating patients who may suffer from allergic conditions.
3. Understand immunological mechanisms and allergic manifestations
4. Apply the principles discussed to clinical situations which occur in patient care
5. Recognize manifestations of allergic reactions associated with latex and nitrile materials and products

The educational teaching methodology used in this course is a lecture presented via live webinar in concert with an accompanying PowerPoint presentation. Both the live lecture and the PowerPoint presentation incorporate a variety of audio and visual cues to enhance audience members’ understanding and retention of key concepts. In addition, audience participation will be encouraged and facilitated by group discussions as well as question and answer periods provided for at the conclusion of each section of the live webinar."
