I have read and used the book. I found it exceptionally advantageous in both theory and practice. It incorporates great illustration and visual aids that are self-explanatory. My number one book when it comes to Nitrous oxide use. Highly Recommended. Samir Dauahera, DDS

Second Edition Goes Beyond Expectations
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
The second edition of this useful text goes beyond expectations. There is an increased emphasis on safety using minimal levels of nitrous oxide during most dental care (less than 50%), as well as the current 'standard of care' use of titration procedure model. Includes and relates the ASA Physical Classification System. Every dental professional using nitrous oxide should purchase this text so as to update themselves in many areas.
