Psychedelics in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery - On Demand Access

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the use of psychedelic substances as a potential treatment option for a variety of medical conditions. Regulatory restrictions on research into psychedelics were lifted in 2000, and the first landmark study on psilocybin at Johns Hopkins University was published in 2006. The volume of research has been growing every year. Psychedelics such as psilocybin, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) have been shown in clinical trials to be effective in treating conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, addiction and end-of-life distress. In recent years, several cities such as Detroit, Seattle and Santa Cruz as well as all of Oregon and Colorado have decriminalized the possession and use of psychedelic substances. The FDA has granted breakthrough therapy designation for psilocybin and MDMA-assisted therapy for certain conditions. As legislation changes and psychedelics move from the underground to the mainstream, the anesthetic, dental and oral and maxillofacial surgery fields will have to adjust. This 60-minute webinar will define psychedelics and explore the risks, benefits and potential place in dentistry and oral and maxillofacial surgery.
