“…In Moore et al's survey of dental school graduates from 2003 to 2007, 44% of general dentists reported that a lack of training/experience or knowledge was a major reason for not offering sedation in their general dental practices, and the respondents’ written comments indicated a desire for a greater number of clinical experiences involving sedation procedures in the predoctoral curriculum 24 . In 2006, Boynes et al assessed the quality and quantity of sedation education in U.S. dental schools among general dental practitioners who had graduated in 2003 19 . Their responses also indicated a perceived need for sedation care by the majority of recent graduates and low overall satisfaction with the quality of sedation education in U.S. dental schools.…”

“…While there has been research about IV‐sedation education in dental schools, 17 , 19 , 20 no study so far has inquired specifically how graduates from endodontic residency programs evaluate their education in this context. This might be partly due to the fact that the CODA standards for endodontic programs do not include a requirement that these graduates need to be competent to provide moderate IV‐sedation 26 .…”

“…The survey for the endodontists was based on a literature review of studies with dentists 11 , 17 , 19 , 20 and dental specialists 6 , 9 , 10 concerning IV‐sedation. The draft survey was pilot tested with six endodontists in December 2016 to January 2017.…”

The aims of the two studies reported here were to assess endodontic postgraduate program directors' educational efforts and attitudes related to educating residents about intravenous (IV) sedation (Study 1) and to assess endodontists' educational experiences and attitudes concerning IV-sedation (Study 2). Directors of all 56 U.S. endodontic residency programs and a sample of 2,173 endodontists in the U.S. were invited to participate in the surveys in 2016 and 2017; 31 directors completed the survey (response rate 55%), as did 616 endodontists (response rate 28.3%). Of the participating programs, 18 did not and 13 did offer IV-sedation education. Most directors of programs without this education agreed/strongly agreed that other programs in their institutions offered IV-sedation (83%) and that none of their faculty were trained to teach it (83%). Most directors of programs with this education were satisfied/very satisfied with their classroom-based education about IV-sedation (64%) and this education in general (54%). Directors of programs with IV-sedation education agreed more strongly than directors of programs without IV-sedation education that there is a need for IV-sedation in endodontics (on five-point scale with 1=disagree strongly: 4.08 vs. 3.39; p=0.05), that postgraduate programs should offer it (3.50 vs. 2.71; p=0.04), and that many patients inquire about it (2.75 vs.1.83; p=0.04). Most of the endodontists disagreed/disagreed strongly that they had received adequate training in IV-sedation in their postgraduate program (87%) and were not satisfied with their IV-sedation training (71%); half (51%) reported not feeling competent answering patients' questions about IV-sedation. While most of the endodontists were dissatisfied with their IV-sedation related postgraduate education, most of the program directors did not offer IV-sedation education in their programs. A discussion of the need to educate future endodontists about IV-sedation is needed.

“…In a 2005 national survey of general practitioners recently graduated from U.S. dental schools, 76.4% of the respondents perceived that their education in enteral sedation was below average or poor, and 67.9% perceived their education in intravenous sedation was below average or poor (1). 2 However, a national survey of the Canadian population disclosed a high level of desire among dental patients for sedation and anesthesia across all disciplines 3 …”

The Development of Dental Anesthesiology As a Discipline and Its Role As a Model of Interdisciplinary Collaboration

The majority of dental procedures can be performed with an awake patient and the use of a local anesthetic, but when deep sedation and general anesthesia are needed, they typically are provided by those dentists with advanced training in anesthesiology, i.e., oral and maxillofacial surgeons and dentist anesthesiologists. Dental anesthesiology began with the discovery of anesthesia by a dentist in 1844 and has been recognized as a separate discipline in dentistry for nearly 70 years. Training over this time evolved from apprenticeships to one-year training programs, and in 2007, the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA) began accrediting two-year dental anesthesiology training programs. Since 2015, in recognition of the increasing complexity of the discipline, training has required three years of postgraduate study. The number of dentist anesthesiologists has grown with the increasing demand for anesthesia services by both the public and the profession. However, the present number of dentist anesthesiologists is not sufficient to meet the demand, so additional programs and growth in current programs are needed. Another valuable aspect of this discipline is its role as a positive example of interdepartmental collaboration since dental anesthesiology faculty, as members of a support discipline, typically work across many of the other departments in a dental school. This article reviews the history of the discipline, describes the educational goals and CODA standards for dental anesthesiology programs, using one program as an example, and discusses the needs and challenges that will shape the discipline's development in the future.

“…In summary, Spain shares a series of international factors that seriously affect the oral health of its population and require consensus‐based training in CS to enable recent graduates to use this technique safely, a task not exempt from difficulties according to the universities of different European and non‐European countries who share our concerns, including the United Kingdom and Ireland (Leitch & Jauhar, ), the United States (Boynes, Lemak, & Close, ), Australia (Moore, Boynes, Cuddy, Giovannitti, & Zovko, ), Japan (Morse, Sano, Fujii, & Kanri, ), and Jordan (Al‐Shayyab, Ryalat, Dar‐odeh, & Alsoleihat, ).…”

The current Spanish curricula for degrees in dentistry include conscious sedation (CS) as a basic training competency. However, is the CS training delivered by Spanish dental schools a consensus‐based educational framework enabling students to use this anesthetic technique after graduation? To answer this research question, a study was designed aiming to identify the strategies used to teach this competency in Spanish dental schools and the characteristics of teaching. The authors reviewed legislation concerning officially established requirements for a degree in dentistry as well as curricula currently taught in Spain. Our analysis identified clear discrepancies among the schools of dentistry studied. The only overlap was observed in reference to the level of proficiency imparted, which prevents Spanish dentistry students from using this anesthetic technique after graduation. Specific features of the normative framework and of the Spanish legislative system underlying the design of the present curricula of degrees in dentistry would explain the discrepancies in CS competencies taught at our schools of dentistry. Almost 10 years since its implementation and in light of the new demands of the complex society in which we live, Spanish universities must unify their educational criteria regarding CS training to ensure the appropriate qualification of our new dentists in this technique.
