Abstract:

Relative analgesia is the use of low concentrations of nitrous oxide with high concentrations of oxygen to produce sedation and a variable degree of analgesia. Nitrous oxide is the most commonly used inhalation anaesthetic in dentistry. In this study inhalation sedation with nitrous oxide and oxygen has been examined as a valuable technique of sedation in dentistry in general and in paediatric dentistry in particular. Different aspects of nitrous oxide and relative analgesia such as Physical properties and pharmacology of' nitrous oxide; Physiology of respiration; clinical uses of relative analgesia; contraindications of relative analgesia; Relative analgesia machines; Signs & symptoms of relative analgesia; Patient assessment before relative analgesia; Dosage of nitrous oxide in relative analgesia; Side effects of nitrous oxide and precautions in use of nitrous oxide are also considered.
