Case 1 20-year-old white female, healthy, voiced some apprehension, specifically regarding injection; dental needs were routine restor- ative, ice., alloys. We chose the Surf tape, used nitrous oxide gas (N20) at a 25% to 35% level, 2% xylocaine; epinephrine 1/100,000; the routine restorative was performed. The patient's first comment after the procedure was “I want one. I felt like I was somewhere else for a long time.” When asked if she would like the Surf tape for her next appointment, she said yes. The patient has not yet returned to the office. My observation was that this patient handled the entire dental experience with a great deal of calm. Case 2 A 13-year-old white female, healthy, who was not particularly apprehensive about dental care, came to the office for routine dental needs. She agreed to use the Surf tape out of curiosity. With the tape, no N20, 2% xylocaine; epinephrine 1/100,000, her restorative needs . . » “kept saying to myself ‘Mind over matter, it doesn’t hurt. ‘were met uneventfully. The patient's comments following the dental treatment ranged from “I think the Surf tape helped. It wasn’t as scary,” to “I kept saying to myself ‘Mind over matter, it doesn't hurt.’” I observed that this patient was either borderline or truly asleep for most of her restorative work. Case 3 A 14-year-old white female, healthy, with some apprehension regarding injections, who, however, has always been able to handle

the experience, was in the office for routine restorative dental needs. Her parents requested no N,O due to an exceptionally aggressive chronic cough which had been present for approximately three weeks. She accepted my suggestion to use the Surf tape. With the tape, 2% xylocaine, and epinephrine 1/100,000, her restorative needs were met uneventfully. What may be most interesting in this patient's case are my clinical observations. In a short period of time she drifted into a sleep state, her coughing spells ceased, and a chronic twitching of the legs noticed during injection also stopped. Following the procedure, the patient’s comment was “I like the waves better than music; it relaxes me better.” She returned one week later, chose not to use the Surf tape at that time, but did make the comment, “I dreamed I was on the beach every night this past week.” Obviously, these three cases do not follow any rigid scientific protocol, and, at best, were evaluated in a very subjective fashion. However, in my opinion, Case 3 demonstrated real possibilities with the use of Hemi-Sync ina pediatric dental office setting. Future plans include using a variety of Hemi-Sync tapes with some of the younger patients who may struggle initially with accepting dentistry as a necessary procedure. @ HEMI-SYNC PROGRAMS SCHEDULED At The Monroe Institute: GATEWAY VOYAGE May 4-10 May 25-31 June 8-14 July 13-19 August 10-16 August 31-September 6 September 14-20 September 28-October 4
