Effective pain management is a fundamental responsibility of modern dental practice and a key driver of patient comfort, clinical efficiency, and treatment outcomes. Managing pain across the full continuum of care—before, during, and after treatment—requires an evidence-based, practical approach.
After completing this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Identify evidence-based strategies for managing dental pain in the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative phases of care.
- Describe the clinical rationale and appropriate use of dexamethasone for modulation of pain, swelling, and trismus.
- Apply techniques to improve intraoperative pain control through the use of buffered local anesthesia.
Select appropriate postoperative analgesic regimens based on current evidence-based guidelines.
