Sedation in dentistry | Pediatric Sedation | Conscious SedationDr. Rajat Sachdeva
A phobic patient for their Dental treatment may suffer discomfort during the procedure.
Sedation to calm down the patient is quite necessary for proficient procedure.
Various sedation depending on phases of consciousness are mild, moderate, deep.All these sedation are non-assistant type or patient can breath by his or her own.
But under General anesthesia, patient bin completely unconscious and requires assistant in breathing.
However, to accomplish a procedure, patient should be calm and anxiety free.

Report Back from SGO 2024: What’s the Latest in Cervical Cancer?bkling
Are you curious about what’s new in cervical cancer research or unsure what the findings mean? Join Dr. Emily Ko, a gynecologic oncologist at Penn Medicine, to learn about the latest updates from the Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO) 2024 Annual Meeting on Women’s Cancer. Dr. Ko will discuss what the research presented at the conference means for you and answer your questions about the new developments.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

3. Levels of Anesthesia
Local anesthesia
Conscious Sedation
Deep Sedation
General Anesthesia
Sedation and General Anesthesia
Dr.Akram Thabet
4. Local Anesthesia
Local, or regional, anesthesia involves the
injection or application of an anesthetic
drug to a specific area of the body. It
eliminates sensation and pain in a local
area of the body without loss of
consciousness.
Sedation and General Anesthesia
Dr.Akram Thabet
5. According to the degree of CNS
depression:
◦ Conscious Sedation
◦ Deep Sedation
◦ General Anesthesia
Sedation and General Anesthesia
Dr.Akram Thabet
6. Sedation
It is a technique where one or more drugs
are used to depress the Central Nervous
System of a patient thus reducing the
awareness of the patient to his surrounding.
Sedation and General Anesthesia
Dr.Akram Thabet
7. Conscious Sedation
It
is
a
controlled,
pharmacologically
Induced, minimally depressed level of
consciousness that retains the patient’s
ability
to

airway
and
respond appropriately to physical and/or
verbal command.
ventilatory and cardiovascular functions are
unaffected
Sedation and General Anesthesia
Dr.Akram Thabet
8. Deep Sedation
It is a controlled, pharmacologically induced state of
depressed level of consciousness , from which the
patient is not easily aroused and which may be
accompanied by a partial loss of protective reflexes,
including the ability to maintain a patent airway
independently and/or respond purposefully to
physical stimulation or verbal commands.
Sedation and General Anesthesia
Dr.Akram Thabet
13. Fundamental Concepts:
It is easy to drift from one state to another.
Any anesthetic/sedative/opioid regardless of route
of administration can be a general anesthetic (can
cause unconsciousness)
Patient state is considered in terms of the level of
consciousness rather than the technique involved.
Sedation techniques

Sedation and General Anesthesia
Dr.Akram Thabet
14. Indications:
1- Behaviorally challenged patients (stressful and fearful
patients).
2- Young children
3- Mentally retarded Patients
4- Major operations in oral and maxillofacial surgery
5- Stressful Procedure ( multiple 3 rd Molar
extractions, Interosseous implants ,complex periodontal
surgery)
6- Gagging reflexes
7- Local Anesthesia problems
8- Medically compromised patients Sedation and General Anesthesia
Dr.Akram Thabet
15. Routes of Administration:
Enteral – any technique of administration in which the agent is
absorbed through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract or oral mucosa
[i.e., oral, rectal, sublingual].
Parenteral – a technique of administration in which the drug
bypasses the gastrointestinal (GI) tract [i.e., intramuscular (IM),
intravenous (IV), intranasal (IN), submucosal (SM), subcutaneous
(SC), intraosseous (IO)].
Transdermal – a technique of administration in which the drug is
administered by patch or iontophoresis through skin.
Transmucosal – a technique of administration in which the drug is
administered across mucosa such as intranasal, sublingual, or
rectal.
Inhalation – a technique of administration in which a gaseous or
volatile agent is introduced into the lungs and whose primary
effect is due to absorption through the gas/blood interface.
Sedation and General Anesthesia
Dr.Akram Thabet
17. Cons. Sedation
Minimally Depressed Consciousness
Deep Sedation
Deeply depressed consciousness
Anxiolysis
Sleeplike state

Sedation and General Anesthesia
Dr.Akram Thabet
18. Sedation techniques
Non - titrable Technique
Oral Sedation
Rectal Sedation
Intramuscular Sedation
Submucosal Sedation
Intranasal Sedation
Titrable Technique
Inhalational Sedation
Intravenous Sedation
Combination Of the two
Sedation and General Anesthesia
Dr.Akram Thabet
19. I- Oral Sedation
By far, it is the most universally accepted and
easiest method of sedation administration.
The most variable (non-titrable) technique
Recovery time prolonged
Difficult to reverse unwanted effect
Utilizing escort
No repeated doses
Sedation and General Anesthesia
Dr.Akram Thabet
20. Advantages of Oral Sedation
Universal acceptability
Ease of administration
Low cost
Incidence of adverse reactions less than
some other techniques
No needles, syringes or special techniques
Various drugs, dosage forms available
Allergic reactions less severe than seen in
parenteral administration
No specialized training
Sedation and General Anesthesia
Dr.Akram Thabet
21. Disadvantages of oral Route
Reliance on patient cooperation
Prolonged onset
Erratic absorption, unpredictable effect
Inability to titrate to effect
Inability to readily lighten or deepen
Prolonged duration of effect
Adverse interactions of sedative drugs
Sedation and General Anesthesia
Dr.Akram Thabet
22. Contraindications to oral Sedation
Severe dental anxiety & fear
High probability of adverse drug interaction
Poor past experience with oral sedation
Allergy to drug being used
Other
drug
contraindications
(pregnancy
, glaucoma, etc.)
Need for rapid onset and/or rapid recovery
Sedation and General Anesthesia
Dr.Akram Thabet
23. Factors Influencing Oral Drug Absorption
Lipid solubility
pH of gastric tissues
Mucosal surface area
Gastric emptying time
Dosage form of drug
Drug inactivation (“first pass effect”)
Presence of food in stomach
Bioavailability of drug
Genetics
Sedation and General Anesthesia
Dr.Akram Thabet
24. II- Inhalational Sedation
Nitrous oxide/oxygen inhalation sedation is
the most commonly used technique in
dentistry for sedation .
Nitrous oxide/oxygen (N²O/O²) sedation is
a combination of these gases that the
patient inhales to help eliminate fear and
to help the patient relax.
Sedation and General Anesthesia
Dr.Akram Thabet
25. Equipments
Continuous flow design
with flow meters
Safe delivery of O2 and
N2O.
Pin-indexed yoke system
Efficient scavenger
Sedation and General Anesthesia
Dr.Akram Thabet
29. Advantages of Nitrous Oxide
Rapid onset (almost equal to that of IV. administration )
Ability to titrate & to reverse
Depth of sedation readily altered
Flexible duration of action
Rapid recovery from sedation
Safe
No injection required
Very few side effects
No adverse effects on vital organs
Patient can be discharged alone
Non addictive.
Produces stage I anesthesia.
Dulls the perception of pain.
Sedation and General Anesthesia
Dr.Akram Thabet
30. Disadvantages of Nitrous Oxide
Initial cost of cumbersome equipment is high
Continuing costs of gases high
Equipment takes up operatory space
Requires constant patient cooperation
Chronic exposure of office personnel can cause
Carcinogenicity , Teratogenicity or Toxicity
Not always effective
Sedation and General Anesthesia
Dr.Akram Thabet
31. Relative Contraindications to Inhalation
Sedation:
Severe dental anxiety & fear
Compulsive personalities
Poor past experience with oral sedation
Pregnancy
URI, COPD
Nasal obstruction: Problems inhaling through the
nose
Emphysema: Increased O²
Multiple sclerosis: Breathing difficulties
Emotional stability: Altered perception of reality
Sedation and General Anesthesia
Dr.Akram Thabet
33. Administration of Inhalation sedation
Start with pure oxygen while establishing the
patient’s tidal volume.
Slowly titrate the nitrous oxide until the desired
results are achieved.
Patients should refrain from talking or mouth
breathing.
The N²O/O² analgesia should end with the
administration of 100% O² for 3 to 5 minutes.
Obtain postoperative vital signs and compare
them to the preoperative recordings.
Sedation and General Anesthesia
Dr.Akram Thabet
34. How to reduce N²O hazards to dental personnel ??
◦ Use a scavenger system.
◦ Use a patient mask that fits well.
◦ Discourage patients from talking.
◦ Vent gas outside the building.
◦ Routinely inspect equipment and hoses
for leaks.
◦ Use an N²O monitoring badge system.
Sedation and General Anesthesia
Dr.Akram Thabet
35. III- Intravenous Sedation
Antianxiety drugs that are administered
intravenously continuously throughout the
procedure at a slower rate, providing a
deeper stage I analgesia.
The most rapid technique; onset
approximately 20 to 25 seconds.
In children under 6 years, the incidence of
untoward effects is increased

◦ Surgical anesthesia
Stage IV
◦ Medullary paralysis
Sedation and General Anesthesia
Dr.Akram Thabet
46. Four Stages of Anesthesia:
Stage I: Analgesia is the stage at which a
patient is relaxed and fully conscious. The
patient is able to keep his or her mouth
open without assistance and is capable of
following directions. The patient will have
a sense of euphoria and a reduction in
pain. Vital signs are normal. Depending
on the agent used, the patient can move
into different levels of analgesia.
Sedation and General Anesthesia
Dr.Akram Thabet
47. Stage
II: Excitement is the stage at
which a patient is less aware of his or
her immediate surroundings and can
start to become unconscious. The
patient can become excited and
unmanageable. Nausea and vomiting
can occur. This is an undesirable stage.
Sedation and General Anesthesia
Dr.Akram Thabet
48. Stage
III:
This stage of General
anesthesia in which the patient
becomes calm after stage II. This is the
favorable stage for doing surgery. The
patient feels no pain or sensation. The
patient will become unconscious. This
stage of anesthesia can be met only
under
the
guidance
of
an
anesthesiologist
in
a
controlled
environment such as a hospital.
Sedation and General Anesthesia
Dr.Akram Thabet
49. Stage
IV: Respiratory failure or
cardiac arrest is the stage at which
the lungs and heart slow down or
stop functioning. If this stage is not
reversed quickly, the patient will
die.
