In this high-energy, interactive lecture, Dr. Daniel Pompa shared up-to-date strategies for preventing, recognizing, and managing medical emergencies in the dental setting. With more medically compromised patients entering dental practices than ever before, Dr. Pompa emphasized the importance of preparation and team coordination. He introduced practical diagnostic techniques, reviewed essential emergency drugs and their indications, and demonstrated techniques for real-time crisis response. Attendees also learned how to uncover hidden medical concerns through conversational history, and received color-coded emergency algorithm cards for use in life-threatening situations. The session was not only highly informative and engaging—it also included a fun raffle with some great prizes for attendees.
