Event Details...
This event includes information on the following topics:
The intended audience for this event includes:
Many of our patients are quite anxious about seeking and receiving dental treatment. In fact, it may lead to some people avoiding dental care completely until excruciating pain gives them no choice. Dentists should be able to provide alternatives to control a patient's anxiety and to assist them to receive treatment.
This course will cover a spectrum of anxiety relieving alternatives. It will give the caring dentist a selection of anxiolytic techniques that can be offered to their patients including psychosedation, oral sedation and inhalation sedation.
All participants will have the opportunity to administer and experience the full range of effects of relative analgesia using nitrous oxide-oxygen, and after completing the course, will feel confident in setting up and administering this agent.
A review of Basic and Advanced Life support will be undertaken and electromechanical monitoring options will be discussed.
Topics include:
- Application of psychosedation techniques.
- Review of Basic Life Support.
- Review of relevant anatomy.
- Pharmacology of oral and inhalational anxiolytic agents.
- Equipment requirements.
- In-surgery advice: sterilisation, scavenging and safety.
- Administration and monitoring.
- Concerns and contraindications.
- Managing complications.
IMPORTANT NOTE
During the practical session, participants will work in groups and learn both slow and fast nitrous oxide-oxygen induction techniques. It is essential that all participants wishing to perform any procedure on a colleague in a learning environment are registered dental professionals in Australia.
