ABSTRACT
UNLABELLED Advanced conscious sedation techniques for dental procedures include continuous propofol infusion and combinations of midazolam and fentanyl. A course based on the Independent Expert Group on Training & Standards for Sedation in Dentistry (IEGTSSD) training syllabus was set up in 2012 to provide training in these techniques. Training involved self-directed study modules; attendance at didactic teaching day; presentation by candidates of knowledge; medical emergency simulated training; written examination; supervised cases; and submission of case logbook. A dedicated clinic was set up by dentists to provide training for supervised cases. RESULTS:
nine dentists are now trained in advanced sedation techniques and over 250 patients have been successfully treated using continuous propofol infusion.CONCLUSION:
the advanced sedation training course based on the EGTSSD curriculum was a successful way to train dentists experienced in standard sedation techniques to be confident and knowledgeable to deliver advanced sedation in a dental setting. Patients mostly preferred propofol to midazolam, however, as amnesia is not guaranteed; propofol may be more appropriate for mild to moderately anxious patients.
