Description
This definitive, authoritative
clinical manual stands alone in the field of patient sedation. Combining
essential theory with technical instruction, it presents "everything in a
nutshell" for the practicing professional and student of dentistry. Key factors
such as the physical, emotional, and mental condition of the patient – as well
as required ADA guidelines – are incorporated into sedation techniques designed
to improve the patient's overall dental experience. The result is an
indispensable book, expert in its professional protocols and techniques, and
comprehensive in its wide-ranging considerations. Detailed chapters, divided
into eight parts, are devoted to topics on: the problem of fear and anxiety in
dentistry; pain and anxiety control; pharmacosedation; history and techniques of
general anesthesia; inhalation and intravenous sedation, preparation and
management of emergencies in the dental office; and sedation for special needs
patients – pediatric, geriatric, and medical and physically compromised
patients.
Reviews
From Scott W. Podlesh
This is the third edition of
this popular textbook. The previous edition was published in 1989. Like the
previous edition, this book attempts to provide the basic concepts needed for
understanding both the pharmacology and clinical techniques used in outpatient
dental sedation. The book also discusses in detail possible complication and
emergency situations that occur during outpatient anesthesia. This book is
designed to be used by students of dentistry, both at the doctoral and
postdoctoral levels, as an adjunct to training in sedation that provides
clinical management of patients in a properly supervised environment. This book
includes many charts, illustrations, and black-and-white photographs.
Unfortunately, the charts frequently lack the information needed to make them
useful as quick references, and many of the photographs are dated and of poor
quality. The references have been updated but remain predominantly unchanged
from the previous edition. The index is complete and easy to use. This is a very
useful book for those dental students (both doctoral and postdoctoral)
interested in pursuing training in outpatient sedation. Although this is a fine
textbook, a mistake in the index should be noted. Dr. Malamed writes, ""In
November of 1994 the American Dental Association recognized dental
anesthesiology as a dental specialty."" In fact, the American Dental Association
voted in November 1994 to not recognize dental anesthesiology as a dental
specialty.
