Ordinary conscious sedation, where the patient stays awake and responsive, does not count here. This is informational and does not affect the transparency score.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-08-27 | Initial data collection for the Slovenia Dental Transparency & Trust Index: verified via ludvigdental.si and Google Maps. No individual dentist names are published on the site, and a registry search for the practice name "Ludvig" found no Celje-based match, so no dentist could be safely attributed. No clinic-scope Slovenian registry exists to check the clinic itself. |
