Author Information

Dionne, DDS,PhD, National Institute of Dental Research, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD; James Phero, DMD, Professor of Clinical Anesthesia, Clinical Pediatrics, and Clinical Surgery, University of Cincinnati, College of Medicine; Co-Director, Head & Neck Section, University Pain Control, Greater Cincinnati Pain Consortium, The Barret Center, University of Cincinnati Hospita,l Cincinnati, OH; and Daniel Becker, DDS, Professor, Allied Health Sciences, Sinclair Community College, Dayton, OH

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.
