Product not yet rated

CE Hours: 1.0

Description: Dental pain can be incapacitating, and non-opioid alternatives to current regimens are warranted. This session will discuss Cannabidiol (CBD), a primary cannabinoid, as a dental analgesic. We will present data from the first randomized clinical trial on the effectiveness and safety of CBD for patients presenting with emergency dental pain. We will further elaborate on potential mechanisms of action based on our preclinical models.

Learning Objectives:  

  • Recognize the opioid crisis and the need for more non-opioid analgesics for dental pain.
  • Discuss the advantages of using CBD as a drug for dental pain and utilize it in a clinical setting.
  • Identify possible mechanisms of action for the CBD analgesic effect.
