Objectives: In the early 1990s much of the periodontal profession perceived an upcoming shift in services performed by periodontists. Many patients expect sedation for periodontal surgery. As a result, in 1993 the American Academy of Periodontology began encouraging postgraduate periodontal programs to train residents in the use of conscious sedation. The purpose of this study is to investigate trends in the training of IV sedation in residency and its use in periodontal practice. Methods: An 18 question survey was mailed to a sample of 1596 active periodontists throughout the United States and Canada. Thirty-seven percent (596) of the surveys were returned. Twenty-two retired periodontists responded and were excluded from the analysis. The data from the remaining 574 surveys was analyzed with a statistical software package. Results: About half (49.8%) of survey respondents offer IV sedation in their practices. Among respondents who completed residency prior to 1996, 42.6% offer IV sedation compared to 64.2% of respondents who completed residency in 1996 or later. The number of IV sedations performed in residency was moderately correlated with the number of IV sedations personally performed in periodontal practice (Spearman r=0.5169, p<0.0001). The largest percentage of periodontists using IV sedation (74.0%) was reported from District 5 (south-central U.S.), whereas District 7 (WV, VA, PA) reported the lowest usage (15.6%). Conclusion: Approximately half of all periodontists provide IV sedation, with more recent periodontal graduates more likely to offer and to personally administer IV sedation services for their patients. Regional differences exist in the use and training of IV sedation. |
