Best on market

I am dentist in Romania.Considering that the nitrous oxide machine is something new in private dental clinic in Romania there is no information about how to use this machine. I bought the niotrous oxide system and asked for an anesthesiologyst to come in my office and theach me how to do it. If you want to start using this system in your office than... this is the book that you should read.Describes indication , contraindication , technique,oversedation , risk management, things that you should know manibulating this gases.

Great training manual

This book is a fantastic training tool for dentists and staff who want to become comfortable with administering nitrous oxide. It presents the material in an easy to read fashion and constantly reinforces concepts for better comprehension. It also has usage/concentration charts and consent information.

A best buy!

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

For every Dentist who administers N2O

I sell dental sedation units. This text is my #1 recommendation to the dentist purchasing a unit. Good Stuff.

Second Edition Goes Beyond Expectations

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.
