Dentistry and World Antibiotic Awareness Week!
Webinar by Dr. Wendy Thompson: “The Drugs Won't Work: Treating the Emergency Dental Patient”


Global prognosis says that antimicrobial resistance (AMR) will cause 300 million premature deaths if drug resistance is not tackled between now and 2050. We have all heard about resistant microorganisms aka “superbugs” but how well do we as future dentists know how to prescribe correctly and contribute towards finding a solution?

Our special AMR webinar this week is presented by Dr. Thompson, a dentist and antimicrobial specialist from Leeds, UK. She is a specialist lecturer in antimicrobial prescribing, resistance and stewardship who will be giving us extremely precious information about how to work with antibiotics in order to gain maximum effect and cause minimal harm.

Other complications could be due to the poor surgical or prosthetic technique. This webinar will show different types of complications caught from the daily practice with dental implants. It will also show the reason behind these complications, how to prevent their occurrence, and how to deal with them.
