 note = {P(論文), This reports the results of a questionnaire study of dental students on the awareness of "local anesthesia" and "use of patient monitoring systems" in dental clinics. Subjects participated in the present study included 96 sixth year dental students (D6) and 93 first year dental students (D1). The results indicate that the majority of respondents including both D6 and D1 support the notion that a "dentist" is the most suitable person to perform local anesthesia in dental treatment. With respect to education in local anesthesia, 49.0% of D6 respondents consider that education of local anesthesia is essential in post-graduate internships and 92.5% of the D1 group answered that it is essential in undergraduate education. About a third of respondents D6 : 30.2% and D1 : 34.4% were aware of the danger that patients may pass away during dental treatment, prior to enrollment in dental school. Effective measures when attempting to promote safety in dental local anesthesia reported by D6 indicated 50% or higher for painless local anesthesia using an electric-type syringe, allergy tests, topical anesthesia prior to local anesthesia, use of a patient monitoring system, nitrous oxide/oxygen inhalation sedation, intravenous sedation, and quantitative assessments of pain and anxiety. Regarding education in the use of a patient monitoring system and data assessment, 54.2% of D6 responded that it is "essential" for post-graduate internship, and 86.0% of D1 responded that it is "essential" in undergraduate education. Overall the study suggests that there is a need for more education in this area at an early stage to promote safety in dental clinical fields.},
