Nitrous Oxide or "laughing gas"
Nitrous Oxide is affectionately known as "laughing gas". It is used to alleviate anxiety during your dental visit. It is administered with a nose piece and you breathe Oxygen combined with Nitrous Oxide gas. You never lose consciousness and are never "out of control", but you don't care too much about what's going on. It's great if you're really worried about dental treatment.
Nitrous oxide is used in roughly one third of dental practices in the United States, especially to allay anxiety that many patients may have toward dental treatment, and it offers some degree of painkilling ability. The benefits of nitrous oxide are many, and the risks are few. The gas is administered with a comfortable mask placed over the nose, and the patient is instructed to breathe in through the nose and out through their mouth. As a precaution, patients should not eat anything for about two hours prior to use of the gas. The patient begins to feel a pleasant level of sedation in anywhere from 30 seconds to three or four minutes. The cheeks and gums will also begin to feel numb in about a third of the patients.
After the gas is adjusted to the appropriate dose, and the patient is relaxed and sedated, the dentist can comfortably give the anesthetic injection (if needed) to the patient, and then proceed with dental treatment. After the treatment is completed, the patient is given pure oxygen to breathe for about five minutes, and all the effects of sedation are usually reversed. Unlike IV sedation or general anesthesia, the patient can almost always leave the office by themselves, without an escort.

Electric Drill
|
The modern generation of electric motor, handpiece, and cable assembly can be easily dismounted for sterilization sterilization. Present electric technology delivers to the dental practitioner cutting instruments that are more efficient than air turbines can supply.
Cavity preparation is quicker, more precise, and less traumatic with modern electrical technology than is possible with air turbines.
Improved asepsis is a huge advantage with electric handpiece systems.
|
|
|
When an air turbine is turning at fall speed, it aerosolizes saliva and blood, sending it flying throughout the entire dental operatory, even if relatively efficient intra oral vacuum is being used. As we have noted, however, the maximum rpm rate of the electric handpieces is much slower. Therefore, the electrics are guilty of much less aerosolizing. That, in turn, means that the potential for irrigating the environment with bacterial and viral contaminants is substantially reduced.
