Saturday Session
Moderator: Robert L. Merin
Program Track: Periodontal-Systemic Relationships
Many routinely utilize conscious sedation in treating the periodontal needs of our patients. This course will challenge each participant to evaluate why conscious sedation is utilized from both the patient and doctor perspectives. What are current sedation techniques,
equipment, drugs and alternatives? How is the office prepared to handle a medical emergency if one arises? This course will be beneficial for both doctors and staff.
Educational Objectives:
• Understand the armamentarium and techniques to safely perform parenteral conscious sedation.
• Learn the basics of handling medical emergencies to implement effective protocols for the office.
• Gain experience to leave the course thinking beyond the office routine.
