Thank you everybody.

You all have it spot on, we had confirmation that the APL valve is far enough away from the patient for IPPV/interference etc

My understanding is it's due to the bag and valve being kept out of the way during dental surgery, or any surgery that takes place around the head for that matter :)

So far as I can remember its because of where the APL valve is placed as its away from the patients mouth?? Im sure your college or CC would be able to definitively answer your question though x

Not sure of an OSCE specific answer, but technially I can't think of a reson to choose a mini lack over a Tpiece specifically for a dental. General reasons would be its more cost effective and possibly better at maintaining core temp.

If the choice is between an adult Lack, and a Magil, reason would be that the APL valve is away from the patients mouth.

Not sure if that helps! Sorry if not!
