Patient
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
