Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialAmnestic and anxiolytic effects of alprazolam in oral surgery patients.
This study was designed to identify a dose of alprazolam that would reduce anxiety associated with oral surgery without causing accompanying memory impairment. ⋯ These findings indicate that alprazolam produces memory impairment at the dosages necessary to produce clinically significant anxiolysis during oral surgery.
