When patients ask, "what products should I use for better oral health?”dental practitioners should be able to provide evidence-based answers! When they are taking a variety of medications and present with changes in oral tissues, are these changes medication related? What are the oral manifestations of these medications? This course is designed to help dental practitioners update their patients with information on the latest therapeutic, non­prescription oral healthcare products, as well as prescribed products and to facilitate the identification of oral manifestations of systemic medications. This course will also review recent developments in chemotherapeutic oral health care products including mouthrinses and dentifrices, and herbal products and agents for management of periodontal disease as part of non­surgical treatment of periodontal disease, as well as updating periodontal considerations for implants.
