OBJECTIVE: Providing a safe and efficient dental treatment for a young @entity1 is a challenge for the dentist and the @entity1 . The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness, safety and acceptability of buccal @entity1363 in dental pediatric @entity1 and to compare it with oral @entity1363 . METHODS: Eighteen uncooperative healthy @entity1 aged 2.5-6 years were randomized to each of buccal @entity1363 (0.3mg/kg) or oral @entity1363 (0.5mg/kg) at the first visit, the alternative has been used at the second visit in a cross-over manner. The study took place at pediatric dentistry clinic of Shahed University, Tehran, from November 2011 to June 2012. The @entity1 ' vital signs and behavioral scores were recorded. The @entity1 , the operator and the observer were blinded to the applied medication. Post operatively, @entity1 ' and parents' satisfaction were assessed by Visual Analogue Score and a questionnaire respectively. The P-value was set at 0.05 for significance level. FINDINGS: There were no significant differences in physiologic factors in the medication groups at time 0, 10, 20, 30 minutes and discharge. There was also no significant difference between the two groups in behavioral parameters. The majority of parents rated both sedative agents as "effective" or "very effective" and their @entity1 mostly were without @entity148 or with minor @entity148 .
