Medical emergencies are an unavoidable part of dental practice. Most can be prevented with proper anesthesia and stress management, but every office must be ready with an emergency drug kit—especially with epinephrine. Epinephrine is the primary treatment for anaphylaxis, but auto-injectors have barriers such as incorrect use, needle fear, short shelf-life, and limited access. A new intranasal spray formulation helps overcome these challenges by offering a safer, more effective, and economical alternative. This course updates the dental team on the latest data and delivery methods for epinephrine, from past practices to future innovations.
