Treating medically complex dental patients can be challenging — especially when multiple chronic conditions, polypharmacy, and cannabinoid use intersect. This dynamic, case-based course explores how marijuana and other substances influence dental treatment planning, patient management, and risk assessment. Participants will learn practical strategies to identify oral signs of cannabinoid use, minimize complications, and ensure safe, effective care. Attendees will leave with confidence to manage even the most complex patients — successfully, safely, and compassionately — starting Monday morning.

Learning objectives:

  • Identify key risk factors and oral signs associated with cannabinoid use.
  • Evaluate treatment considerations for medically complex patients using multiple medications.
  • Apply evidence-based strategies to improve outcomes and safety in challenging dental cases.
