I have downloaded the Dental Treatment Case Complexity Assessment (pdf version) or the Case Complexity Tool (excel version) and discussed its usefulness with my team.

I have used the Dental Treatment Case Complexity Assessment with at least one patient in my practice.

I will consider the five elements of 1) Communication, 2) Behaviour, 3) Medical History, 4) Dental History/Treatment Needs and 5) Access to Oral Care/Barriers when discussing care options with my patients and their families.

I will use the Case Complexity Assessment to plan care that balances the need for sedation with the risks and to communicate the needs of the patient when I refer to a specialist for care.

I follow the RCDSO's Standard Use of Sedation and General Anesthesia in Dental Practice when providing sedation to all patients, including to those with special health care needs.

3.Confirmation to the RCDSO of the accuracy of your responses is required.(Required.)
