That orange thingy marks the location of the nerve channel that runs down the jawbone and is to be avoided when drilling the holes for the implant. <BR/><BR/>I have since discovered that the sedative was <A HREF="http://www.google.com/search?q=midazolam" REL="nofollow">Midazolam</A> (aka Versed). According to Wikipedia it is "It has powerful anxiolytic, amnestic, hypnotic, anticonvulsant, skeletal muscle relaxant and sedative properties.

Aren't we just keeping the dental profession in business, between the two of us!Rosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12032001920106167026noreply@blogger.com
