About This Course

Nitrous oxide course for Dentists & Dental Hygienists - Guide to Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen Minimal Conscious Sedation or PAN Sedation: Theoretical Basis of Practice. By Dr Mark A. Gillman (updated September 2025)This nitrous oxide course (laughing gas) is a comprehensive, clear textbook/ workshop manual giving the theoretical knowledge on how to use PAN also known as minimal sedation with nitrous oxide/oxygen for medical and dental applications ((Nitrous oxide course for Dentists & Dental Hygienists) · It is particularly useful for minor medical and dental procedures which are accompanied by anxiety and/or pain.

· It has applications in medicine for treatment of acute substance abuse withdrawal states and for diagnostic and therapeutic use in other neuropsychiatric conditions such as depression. · The basic slide format with commentary enables practitioners to proceed at their own pace absorbing the essential theory and once they have done so, rapidly learn the practical technique during hands-on training. PAN is also known as inhalation sedation or relative analgesia.

This Nitrous oxide course for Dentists & Dental Hygienists - (laughing gas) (Nitrous oxide course for Dentists & Dental Hygienists) aims to give physicians, dentist and suitably qualified nurses the theoretical basis on which the technique is based. Like any surgical procedure replace hands-on training which takes no more that 2-3 hours to acquire practical skills once the practitioner is thoroughly familiar with the theoretical aspects, which are given in sufficient detail in the presentation to enable trainees to rapidly be taught to administer the gases practically. The training must be done with either a dental practitioner who is experienced with the technique of PAN in their daily practice or some other registered practitioner who is also well-schooled in the use of nitrous oxide/oxygen minimal sedation.

Anaesthesiologists are not usually suitable because practitioners to teach PAN sedation, because they normally use much higher concentrations of nitrous oxide for anaesthesia and seldom use PAN in their practices. The crucial difference is that during anaesthesia the subject is unconscious, while during PAN sedation the consciousness of the subject is little obtunded so that they can readily understand and comply with verbal instructions. For those interested, Dr Gillman is available to train practitioners in South Africa or anywhere else in the world.
