    AbstractHypnosis combined with chemical sedation is uncommonly utilized by physicians, however, the combination of hypnosis and sedation can be an effective modality in the management of uncooperative pedodontic patients. In order to examine the efficacy of this combination technique, we selected 13 pedodontic patients for Ketamine sedation combined with hypnosis. The patients ranged from four to 11 years of age, and all had previous histories of violent emotional reactions before and after dental treatment. We found the combination technique to be extremely effective in successfully overcoming the stressful and frightening aspects of dental care for these pedodontic patients.
