Summary:  Nitrous Oxide Sedation for the Dental Team DVD is an instructional video for dental practitioners such as dental hygienists, assistants, dentists and students.  The DVD teaches and demonstrates how to administer and monitor a patient who has been sedated with nitrous oxide (N2O).

Video Content: Dr. Vaishali Singhal created the N2O sedation DVD in response to a lack of supplemental educational material about nitrous oxide sedation monitoring

The 21-minute video demonstrates the parts and use of an N2O machine and provides information about different N2O administration machines.  A step-by-step administration scenario with narration provides a demonstration of a realistic administration and monitoring session. In addition, the video covers topics such as pre-op preparation, indications for use, contraindications for use, titration-time technique and patient management.

Market Information:  The target market for the N2O sedation DVD is publishers of educational and study materials for dental practitioners. Dental hygiene and dental assisting are popular careers with a considerable number of colleges and universities graduating students.  Examples of this are the following: 

  • There are over 336 educational institutions in the United States that provide bachelor, masters or doctoral degrees for dental hygienist and over 273 for dental assistants
  • More than 6,700 dental hygienists and 5,700 dental assistants graduate annually.
  • Currently 35 states in the US allow dental assistants to perform nitrous oxide sedation monitoring and 32 states allow dental assistants to monitor nitrous oxide sedation.
