Endodontic Scheduling 40/60 Split Production
To maintain appropriate clinical efficiency, patient safety, and procedural quality standards, scheduling should generally not exceed four (4) molar root canal procedures within a single clinical day.
Sedation & Complex Procedure Blocks 40/60 Split Production.
Sedation cases involving mixed implant and/or endodontic therapy shall generally be scheduled as dedicated single-focus procedural blocks. Due to elevated monitoring requirements, procedural complexity, anesthesia considerations, informed consent obligations, and patient safety standards, concurrent scheduling of additional operative patients, hygiene examinations, or routine clinical interruptions is generally not recommended during active sedation treatment. Patients undergoing sedation shall remain under continuous clinical supervision and shall not be left unattended by a provider.
Sedation Equipment & Monitoring
Sedation procedures require dedicated monitoring equipment, operatory continuity, and uninterrupted clinical oversight throughout the sedation encounter. Accordingly, sedation appointments should generally be treated as protected clinical blocks with continuous access to appropriate patient monitoring systems and emergency equipment. Patients undergoing sedation shall remain under continuous clinical supervision and shall not be left unattended by a provider.
Contractor reserves the right to modify, defer, or reschedule excessive same-day procedural scheduling when clinical complexity, staffing limitations, equipment availability, patient acuity, or time constraints may compromise treatment quality, monitoring integrity, or continuity of care.
