Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:
Untitled document
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to
1. Explain various strategies for reducing apprehension and fear.
2. Assess the patient's need for pain control procedures according to protocol.
3. Assess the patient's vital signs.
4. Perform the proper chart documentation of pain control choices, including informed consent.
5. Describe the nerve conduction process.
6. Describe the anesthetic agents and vasoconstrictors used in dentistry, and discuss the rationale for choosing certain agents.
7. Assess the medical history of the patient to determine the correct local anesthetic (LA) agent; if contraindicated, be able to recommend an appropriate modification.
8. Successfully assemble the armamentarium associated with Oraqix anesthetic.
9. Demonstrate the use of Oraqix anesthetic on a typodont.
10. Identify all anatomical landmarks associated with LA injections.
11. Identify the nerve, teeth, and soft tissue structures that are anesthetized with all injections.
12. Successfully assemble, disassemble and maintain the Computer Controlled Anesthetic Delivery System (CCADS).
13. Using best practices deliver anesthesia utilizing LA and CCADS.
14. Identify the local complications that could result from the administration of LA and how to properly manage these complications.
15. Recognize and assist in the management of any systemic complications that may result from the administration of LA.
16. Discuss history of nitrous oxide use and its association with the dental profession.
17. Utilize best practices for the delivery of nitrous oxide administration.
