Treating the Medically Complex Correctional Dental Patient [CE/CME/ CERP] Room W240 D Overview: This presentation will highlight how some of the most common medical conditions can have a direct or indirect effect upon oral health. It will also review how these conditions and the medications which are used for their treatment can influence the course of dental treatment, especially those of a surgical nature. Many incarcerated individuals have one or more chronic medical problems, substance use disorders and/or alcohol use disorders. This presentation will also describe how chemical dependency problems will have long-term impacts upon oral health. The continuum between systemic health and oral health and the need for collaboration between dental and medical personnel within correctional facilities for the benefit of their mutual patients will be identified. Learning Objectives: • Understand how medical conditions which are common among the correctional population can influence the treatment of dental care. • List common medications that can impact oral health in a negative fashion. • Review common oral and maxillofacial pathological conditions.

For correctional settings, CRC

screening with colonoscopy poses challenges for patients, agencies and outside hospitals. Using multitarget stool-based DNA tests for CRC screening offers several advantages: non-invasiveness, patient acceptability and operational efficiency. Successfully implementing a CRC screening program requires planning that involves multiple stakeholders, including custody, clinical staff and the manufacturer (vendor). This workshop will outline key steps in implementing a statewide CRC screening program. Learning Objectives: • Describe the barriers to colorectal cancer (CRC) screening with colonoscopy in carceral settings. • Describe the benefits of using an in-house multi-target DNA stool test for CRC screening. • Identify key steps to implementing a CRC screening program in a statewide correctional agency.
