UNASSIGNED: Oral sedation for pre-cooperative and anxious pediatric @entity1 is an important tool for the pediatric dentist. Few studies have examined the sedation regimen of @entity6882 and @entity5774 . OBJECTIVES: The primary goal of this study was to evaluate the overall safety and effectiveness of the @entity6882 / @entity5774 drug combination. Secondary goals included detecting potential factors that alter sedation effectiveness. STUDY DESIGN: Two hundred and forty eight electronic health records of pediatric @entity1 (131 females, 117 males) who received @entity6882 / @entity5774 sedations in a university setting were evaluated. Pediatric dental residents rated each case according to the Frankl behavioral scale and for effectiveness. Numerous factors were analyzed to evaluate their significance on overall effectiveness. Factors examined included age at time of treatment, gender, ASA status, Frankl score at various points during treatment, sextant of treatment, operator experience, dosage, use of @entity3810 , and any complications encountered during treatment, both major and minor. RESULTS: Over 81% of sedations were considered effective or very effective. Statistically significant findings included age of @entity1 , pre-sedation behavior, and willingness to take the medication. Less than 5% of sedations were aborted due to behavior. Only one major complication was found, which was not related to the sedation. CONCLUSIONS: @entity6882 combined with @entity5774 is a safe and effective sedation regimen for uncooperative or pre-cooperative @entity1 during dental treatment.
