Sedation and anaesthesia cover a continuum, which ranges from

mild anxiolysis with little drowsiness, all the way to general anaesthesia. These

services can be beneficial, and sometimes essential for patients in dentistry. The

aim of this presentation is to define the different levels of anaesthesia, briefly

discuss the methods and modalities of achieving these levels, and to outline their

indications in dentistry. We will also discuss aspects of the new RCDSO Standard of

Practice in the “Use of Sedation and General Anaesthesia in the Dental Office.”
