Abstract
“Florida Board Restricts Office Surgery” states a current Associated Press story. “General Anesthetics Banned From Use in Dental Surgeries” blares a recent headline in a London newspaper. What's next? Once again we are seeing a challenge to the practice of office-based surgery under general anesthesia, and this time it has international as well as national implications. Although these curbs are not currently directed against oral and maxillofacial surgeons, this certainly could happen. The unfortunate situation is that, as has often occurred in the past, we get caught up in rules and regulations directed at others even though this was not the intent, because of a failure of those involved in making these changes to appreciate the difference in qualifications and training among the groups concerned.
