Why Dentists Should Be Concerned About the Antimicrobial<br />
Resistance Crisis and What Can We Do About It<br />
Friday May 6 | ASM 2016 Sessions |<br />
James Lichon, RPh, DDS, CLM<br />
In spite of impressive technological advances in the field of<br />
medicine, heart disease remains the leading cause of death<br />
in the United States. More than one in three of our adult<br />
patients have one or more types of heart disease and it is the<br />
most common medical condition that dental professionals confront. Through<br />
a concise and understandable review of cardiovascular disease, supplements<br />
and more, you can make immediate powerful and practical practice changes<br />
that will improve your life and the life of your patients. I blend my own personal<br />
experience with cutting edge research to carry maximum relevance for the<br />
attendees.<br />
Learning Objectives:<br />
• Treating patients with coronary artery disease, stroke or who have had<br />
open heart surgery or stents<br />
• Prescribing the preferred antibiotics and pain medications, and the new<br />
findings on aspirin, ibuprofen, and Tylenol<br />
• Information on supplements, vitamins, and the effects of nutrition and<br />
physical activity on cardiovascular disease and cancer<br />

Imagine a world in which we, both as practitioners and patients, no longer<br />
have effective antimicrobial drugs at our disposal to fight infections of any kind.<br />
Antimicrobial resistance is considered a pressing international public health<br />
problem and is associated with increased morbidity, mortality and healthcare<br />
costs. Antibiotic consumption is recognized as the primary cause of emerging<br />
resistance, and some of the increase in resistance is directly attributed to<br />
the indiscriminate or poor use of antibiotics. Dentists currently prescribe<br />
approximately 10 percent of all antibiotics dispensed to humans in Canada. This<br />
panel discussion will present the most up-to-date information on the looming<br />
crisis in antimicrobial resistance, explore the role of dentistry in contributing to<br />
this issue, and propose a collaborative strategy between medicine and dentistry<br />
to shepherd antibiotic stewardship in Canadian dentistry.<br />
Learning Objectives:<br />
• To discuss the looming crisis of antimicrobial resistance<br />
• To review the evidence underpinning antibiotic prophylaxis and other<br />
common uses of antibiotics in dentistry<br />
• To explore the role of dentistry in contributing to antimicrobial resistance<br />
and suggest strategies for the future<br />
