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 />

Session Code: F-222<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 />
