Conscious sedation is a technique that is widely used throughout the world and is highly recommended by the European Dental Council (EDC) as an anaesthesia technique whenever the treatment and the case allow it. The controlled delivery of the gas mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide by air causes a relaxing effect, which reduces the emotional load, pain perception and anxiety. The patient is easier to care for, more collaborative, without altering his or her understanding and reflexes. The CED recommends a 14-hour training course to optimise the use of the technique and to master its limits.

The benefits are numerous:

• Treatment of patients who are stressed and whose fear of the dentist is impossible to control.

• Pedodontics.

• Loss of the notion of time, facilitating long surgical treatments.

• Increased analgesic effect.

MASTER FLUX SMART is the new device for conscious sedation from Tecno-Gaz. Equipped with a totally digital and tactile user interface, MASTER FLUX provides the dental practice with the latest technological advances to facilitate the relationship and management of the patient:

• Connectivity

• Saving of treatment data

• Residual gas control

• Mechanical safety

The design of MASTER FLUX SMART is simple and discreet and contributes to the patient's peace of mind.

The Tecno-Gaz range of conscious sedation devices uses INTELLIFLUX, a line of circuits and masks for inhalation and expulsion of the gas mixture.

INTELLIFLUX consists of:

• 4 masks, size 1 (child), 2, (junior), 3 (adult) and 4 (large), made up of a hard plastic part and a soft part, which perfectly fits the shape of the face and prevents any gas leakage.

• The forehead support ensures perfect stability of the mask.

• Two tubes for gas delivery and expulsion, including two non-return membranes to ensure the correct gas path.

• The tubes pass through the upper part of the face, freeing up the area around the mouth for easier care and better patient comfort.
