Description:

According to the DEA, cannabis is considered to have no accepted medical use and therefore is illegal to possess. Yet, almost every state has enacted legislation aimed at legalizing or decriminalizing cannabis for medical or recreational use. Public health concerns regarding the use of cannabis remain, especially among dental professionals, since the major routes of administration of cannabis, much like tobacco, involve the oral cavity. This program will introduce dental professionals to the pharmacology of cannabis, including its various dosage forms, and effects on oral and systemic health.

Learn to:

• describe the pharmacology of cannabis, mechanisms of action, routes of administration and formulations
• explain clinical considerations of cannabis use, adverse reactions, drug interactions and contraindications
• explore the dental considerations of cannabis, including potentially necessary treatment modifications
