Course Objectives: 
This course is the first didactic and practical course in the field of dental anesthesia. This course gives the student exposure to all aspects of the wide and varied scope of dental anesthesia. The course also promotes the integration of the basic sciences and medicine into the daily practice of oral surgery and dentistry. This course teaches the many factors involved in the safe and effective use of local anesthesia in dentistry. The neurophysiology, the pharmacology of local anesthetics and vasoconstrictors and the clinical action of specific agents are presented. The specific armamentarium and the techniques of regional anesthesia in dentistry as well as the local and systemic complications are described.

Learning Outcomes  Program Learning Outcomes Teaching Methods Assessment Methods 
Assess the patient's physical status prior to dental treatment: this includes taking a patient history, physciacl examination, vital signs, laboratory data and imaging results and understanding the relationship between the patient’s medical status and the proposed dental treatment plan and develop a diagnosis and treatment plan to include specialty referral when indicated 1,2,6,10,15 1,2,3,4 C,D
Identify and properly document the medications their patients are taking. It is imperative that the student recognize and understand the possible interactions of the current medications with medications that are part of the proposed dental treatment.  1,6,7,8,10,15 1,2,3,4 C,D
