Description
Treating acute pain requires a foundation of basic and clinical sciences, and
Management of Pain and Anxiety in the Dental Office presents all the scientific
and technical aspects of pain and anxiety control that are useful in dentistry.
In this practical resource, leading authorities explain the principles of
pharmacology and physiology required to properly assess the patient's medical
status and monitor vital physiologic functions during sedation and anesthesia.
It identifies the principles of pain and anxiety, examines the pharmacologic
considerations of working with patients who are anxious or in acute pain, and
discusses the intraoperative management of pain and anxiety, as well as
addressing the diagnosis and management of chronic orofacial pain. Separate
chapters are devoted to pediatric patients, the developmentally disabled, TMD,
and many other timely topics.
