Nitrous Oxide-Oxygen Inhalation Conscious
Sedation Analgesia In Dentistry
Pain has both physiologic and psychological components. As
a result of the psychological component, even the minor
discomforts in the dental experience can become magnified
for the patient. Nitrous oxide-oxygen inhalation conscious
sedation is a means of reducing the apprehensions of the
patient. The use of this technique raises the pain reaction
threshold and reduces fatigue. Both pain sensitivity and
pain reaction are altered. It also reduces the time of
awareness and helps to cope with stressful environment
and longer appointments. Patients are relaxed and many
actually enjoy their dental visits. In many instances, the use
of inhalation sedation will significantly help a dental patient
to overcome fear of dentistry and adverse psychological
feelings toward the dentist, his office or his procedures. All
these features are of immense value in dealing with dental
patients, adults as well as children.
With a safety record of over 160 years, nitrous oxide
Inhalation sedation is now an inseparable part of the dental
setups in North America, Europe Australia & many parts of
Asia. In the US alone, 25 million cases are done annually
under the Nitrous Sedation. India has been in the middle of a
sustained economic resurgence. Today, wealth is in
information. As the demographic profile of the country gets
younger, the lapping up of the futuristic technologies is
taking place at a never seen before pace.
It is heartening to note that a technique of anxiety & pain
control, as amazing as Inhalation Conscious Sedation, has
taken off the blocks in a wonderful fashion in this country.
The 'smokescreen' surrounding this technique has begun to
evaporate, for sure. Having attained cult status in the
advanced economies of the world, it surely is poised for
future greatness as far as India is concerned.
This indeed could be “The Future of Painless Dentistry in India”
