designates this live activity for 5.25 continuing dental education
credits. Description: Older adults are the fastest growing segment of
our population and are maintaining their natural teeth much longer.
Increasing numbers of older adults with more teeth means there is an
increased need for dental care in this group. However, with advanced
age often comes more chronic diseases and more medications to treat
these diseases. This has the potential to make routine dental care and
patient management more complicated. Understanding the implications of
systemic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes and
recognizing the unique needs of older adults will allow the dentist to
provide safe and appropriate care. This course will address the dental
management of older adults and patients with complex medical
conditions and provide the knowledge to assess the risks when treating
this population.
