NEBDN post-registration certificate
Dental Sedation Nursing
Sedation drugs, patient assessment and consent, monitoring and equipment, and recovery and discharge.
The certificate for nurses working in conscious sedation. It runs the length of the patient journey: the pharmacology of midazolam and of nitrous oxide/oxygen and how each behaves; the assessment appointment, ASA classification, medical red flags and the consent and capacity questions that decide whether a patient is suitable at all; the monitoring and equipment used during the case, pulse oximetry above all; and the recovery period, the escort, the discharge decision and who is entitled to make it.
The 4 topics
Each topic has a free study guide covering what it examines. 1 of them also has a free quiz on this site.
Sedation Pharmacology
Intravenous midazolam, inhalation sedation with nitrous oxide and oxygen, oral and transmucosal routes.
Assessment and Selection
ASA classification, medical history and red flags, anxiety assessment, consent, capacity and instructions.
Monitoring and Equipment
Pulse oximetry, clinical observation, blood pressure, the inhalation machine, airway and oxygen equipment.
Recovery and Discharge
Recovery management and positioning, complications, the escort, discharge criteria and who authorises it.
How this certificate is examined in the app
The app treats each certificate as its own qualification. Its 75-question, 90-minute mock test draws only on this certificate's own 200 questions — a mock that mixed in orthodontics while you are revising radiography would tell you nothing useful.
The other certificates
All in the same app — one purchase covers all four.
Dental Radiography
Physics and dose, IR(ME)R duties, projection technique, image faults and radiographic anatomy.
Oral Health Education
Caries and periodontal prevention, diet, fluoride, and the behaviour change techniques that make advice stick.
Orthodontic Dental Nursing
Occlusal classification and development, removable, fixed and functional appliances, materials and retention.
