About MGPHO

MGPHO recently held our 24th Annual Education conference in New Orleans. This year we had record attendance and more participation from our corporate members than ever before. There is not a single medical gas event in the country that packs so much into one location. Be sure to watch for information on our 25th Annual Conference next October in Las Vegas.

"Medical Gas Piping Systems in Dentistry" was presented by MGPHO Special Expert, Daniel Shoemaker, Product Manager for Air Techniques and Mathis Carlson, Technical Sales Engineer for MediTrac. During the webinar, they discuss some of the differences in dental medical systems in the 2005 - 2021 NFPA 99 editions.

As part of the 21st Annual Educational Conference in Indianapolis, Daniel and Mathis will also have a Q & A session as a follow-up to the webinar. The webinar access will be open to all up until the annual conference. After the conference, the webinar and associated Q & A session will be stored in the Members Only section of educational presentations for future use and reference by our membership.

Be sure to read the June 2018 issue of The Anesthesia Patient Safety Foundation newsletter for the article titled "Safe Gas Systems and Office-Based Anesthesia" written by Jonathan L. Wong, DMD and Gerhard Gschwandtner, PEng. This article explains why dental offices are not exempt from following NFPA 99, and why routine maintenance/certification of office-based gas systems is recommended.
