Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialAn RCT pilot study to test the effects of intravenous midazolam as a conscious sedation technique for anxious children requiring dental treatment--an alternative to general anaesthesia.
To add to the evidence base for acceptable and effective paediatric conscious sedation techniques in dental primary care. ⋯ This pilot shows that intravenous midazolam especially in combination with the addition of inhaled nitrous oxide or sevoflurane and nitrous oxide were promising safe and effective techniques, sufficient to justify progression to a definitive RCT with appropriate methods.
