  • Title: Proposed Guideline Revisions for Dental Sedation and General Anesthesia: Why Target the Safest Level of Sedation?
    Author: Dionne RA.
    Journal: Compend Contin Educ Dent; 2016 Sep; 37(8):546-52. PubMed ID: 27608198.
    Abstract:
    Recently proposed revisions to the American Dental Association's Guidelines for the Use of Sedation and General Anesthesia by Dentists, aimed at improving safety in dental offices, differentiate between levels of sedation based on drug-induced changes in physiologic and behavioral states. However, the author of this op-ed is concerned the proposed revisions may have far-reaching and unintended consequences.
