disagree  Harald Moelzer (medical-translator): Would be just 'Narkose' or 'Anästhesie' in German - but they put emphasise on the term 'Schlaf' indicating a level BELOW anaesthesia

disagree  Siegfried Armbruster: I agree that you found a reference that describes "Schlafnarkose" as ITN. But I disagree about this meaning in the context of the question asked

What is sedation and general anesthesia? Most dental cases can be done under local anesthesia alone or sometimes in conjunction with an oral sedative and nitrous oxide sedation. However, certain complex cases, anxious patients, and children may require a more controlled and deeper level of anesthesia. This degree of anesthesia in such cases can vary between moderate-deep sedation and general anesthesia. Deep sedation reduces consciousness, pain and anxiety while maintaining the patient’s ability to respond to commands. On the other hand, general anesthesia provides a temporary loss of consciousness which may be necessary in certain cases. Dr. Misra is exceptionally well trained at providing all levels of anesthesia so that your dentist can fully focus on your oral surgical procedure. This allows for a safer, more predictable and comfortable experience for both the patient and the dentist.

Peer comments on this reference comment (and responses from the reference poster)
neutral  Harald Moelzer (medical-translator): The major difference between sedation and (general) anaesthesia is the administration of muscle relaxants in GA (plus implementation of an artificial airway) - this will definitely not be the case in a dental practice
33 mins
  -> Harald, I simply wanted to point out the different possibilities, especially in view of "Schlafnarkose". Sedatives as a rule don't put to sleep.
agree  Rosa Paredes: Absolutely! the original term does involve "Schlaf-"
6 hrs
  -> Thank you, Rosa.
neutral  Siegfried Armbruster: "Schlaf-" bedeutet in diesem Zusammenhang, dass der Patient jederzeit aufweckbar ist, und das nennt man in der Fachsprache "Sedierung" oder "Analgosedierung". Und "Schlaf" ist nicht gleichzusetzen mit Narkose/Anästhesie

and you will find the following under "Schlafnarkose"

"In Zusammenarbeit mit dem Anästhesisten XXXXXX führen wir größere Behandlungen unter Analgosedierung durch - www.XXXXXX.
Die Analgosedierung ist ein individuell auf Ihren Zustand zugeschnittenes Verfahren, das Sie in einen Dämmerzustand versetzt."

This definitely refers to sedation/analogosedation and not to "anesthesia"
