Course overview

This course is designed to satisfy the Texas Dental Board requirement for continuing education in minimal enteral sedation (required every 2 years for level 1 minimal sedation permit holders).

  • Spectrum of sedation and the limits of enteral sedation
  • Patient evaluation and appropriate patient selection with an emphasis on recognizing patients at high risk of complications
  • Pharmacology of sedative agents including drug interactions and appropriate selection for patients with differing medical conditions
  • Appropriate use, limitations of and interpretation of monitors
