Dental Sports Medicine: Managing Your Patient “Who is an Athlete” CDE Credits: 1.5 // Fee: $59  Presenter: John F. Wisniewski, DMD, MS -  Full-time Associate Professor, specialist in Endodontics at Roseman University of Health Sciences College of Dental Medicine, South Jordan, Utah  Audience: All dental professionals Course Description Athletes participating in various sports experience a complex array of oral health issues. The association between biochemical physiology, oral habits, and related factors and the increase in prevalence of carious lesions will be discussed. These oral health conditions can impact the athlete's ability to perform well and participate in both training and competitions. Most importantly, many of these athletes have no awareness of their own oral health issues. Thus, the need for the formal establishment of pre-participation dental screening examinations has been documented. Based on a literature review and many years of usage, a newly designed “Combination Pre-participation Dental Screening and Triaging Form” has come to the forefront. The practical application of its use will be demonstrated. The program will highlight other areas of concern when managing your patient – “Who is an Athlete”? These topics include smokeless tobacco (ST) use, hazard awareness and a unique approach to a ST cessation, the emergence of E-cigarette usage, mouthguard use and bacterial contamination, and the ideal properties of a mouthguard.
