newMentor, a company known for its CD-based education and training programs, has announced a new course in their series of CE-credited online courses. "Intraosseous and Intraligamentary Anesthesia," clarifies the effectiveness and advantages of these two injections for both primary and adjunctive anesthesia and demonstrates how to achieve proficiency in administering them.

The use of intraosseous and intraligamentary anesthesia offers benefits to both patients and dentists. Local, brief, profound anesthesia can be consistently achieved with these injections and there is no lingering numbness of the lip, tongue or face. They are also very effective where severe inflammation exists and for anesthetizing patients with a history of drug or alcohol abuse.

Despite their proven benefits and efficacy, intraosseous and intraligamentary anesthesia have not been widely used by general practitioners in either a primary or supplemental capacity largely because dental schools have traditionally given less attention to these injections. Through the use of three-dimensional images, "Intraosseous and Intraligamentary Anesthesia," demystifies these injections and provides a step-by-step guide to attaining proficiency in administering them. This course helps dentists quickly gain the competency needed to integrate these precise and dynamic injections into their clinical practice.

The course fee of $175 includes an email link to the course subject matter experts for course content questions. Users can make notes as they view the program and bookmark their place if they want to stop the program and resume later from the same point. A written transcript of the narration is always available. After successful completion of the course test, the participant will receive a certificate for 6-CE credits.
