Anesthesia with Respiratory Therapist, Nursing and Radiology Team Participation in Dental Practice: Review

Abstract

The use of general anesthesia can make it easier for dental professionals to treat patients who, in the absence of this therapy, would be unable to obtain dental care themselves. Furthermore, the readiology team and the respiratory therapist, in conjunction with the nursing staff, will work together to ensure that the dental operation is carried out in a comfortable and risk-free manner. According to the opinions and preferences of dental practitioners, the type of local anesthetic that was most generally desired was lidocaine. On the other hand, the type of topical anesthetic that was most preferred was benzocaine in gel form. Furthermore, among Saudi dentists, the precise body weight was the factor that was utilized the most frequently in the process of determining the dosage of local anesthesia.
