Q

Describe the DA’s role in understanding dental materials.

A

 A dental assistant must be able to describe the behavior of the materials - to avoid potential emergencies ( example: review medial history and if any contraindications present, do not use the products … if you have allergy to latex to do work with latex gloves)
 Handle the materials safely – wear PPE, read MSDS sheets prior to 1st use.
 Assess and prepare materials prior to treating patients. - Monitor expiry dates, follow manufacture instructions when mixing materials.
 Provide patients with education with regards to the materials. For example, Why are you placing on the dental dam vs using cotton rolls for isolation?

37
Q

Describe the pharmacological indications of inhalation anesthetics used for conscious and unconscious sedation.

A

Indications inhalation conscious sedation
*For patients with a moderate gag-reflex
*Pediatric patients
*Anxious patients
*Can be used with or in conjunction with local anesthetic for restorations or extractions

Indications inhalation unconscious sedation
*Special needs patients
*Patients or those with movement disorder or with physical and/or mental disability who are unlikely to otherwise allow safe completion of treatment

38
Q

Describe the pharmacological actions of inhalation anesthetics used for conscious and unconscious sedation.

A

Actions of inhalation conscious sedation
*Decrease anxiety/and fears.
*Can be used with or in conjunction with local anesthetic for restorations or extractions
*Not good for patients that cannot comply with instructions. Cyanosis develops during use
*Generally safer and easier to monitor patient

Actions of inhalation unconscious sedation
*Patient will not remember the procedure
*Patient will not experience pain during the procedure
*The patient breathes in anesthesia gases that are absorbed by the lungs and delivered via blood stream to the brain and spinal cord.
*Deep sedation may be delivered by an anesthesiologist or anesthetist, and in some cases, a qualified non-anesthesiologist.
*Adverse events such as nausea and medication associated side effects may be present.

39
Q

Describe the pharmacological effects of inhalation anesthetics used for conscious and unconscious sedation.

*All anesthetic gases increase respiratory rate
*Adversities include infertility, spontaneous abortion, blood dyscrasias (presence of abnormal cells within the blood), and neurologic deficits. – for individuals who are chronically exposed.
*Nausea and vertigo

Effects Indications inhalation unconscious
sedation
*Relax state of mind and body. ( laughing gas is a common term used in dentistry for nitrous oxide)
