Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
Background & Aim: One of the common problems while treating paediatric patients is dental fear and anxiety. The most common drug used is midazolam, which is having a short duration of action. Hence; we planned the present study to compare the efficacy of 0.3 and 0.5 mg/kg Oral Midazolam in Three to Six year-old uncooperative children scheduled to undergo dental treatment. Materials & Methods: Authors have outlined this study to explore the relative effectiveness of 0.3 and 0.5 mg/kg Oral Midazolam in three to six years-old obstinate kids those listed dental treatment. A total of 60 fearful paediatric dental patients between the age group of 3 to 6 years were included in the present study. All the patients were broadly divided into two study groups- group 1 included patients who were given 0.3 mg/Kg oral midazolam, while group 2 included patients who were given 0.5 mg/Kg. We recorded all the physiological parameters in all the subjects, which included- SpO2, heart rate and respiratory rate; at different time intervals. ‘Houpt’ scale was used for evaluating the level of sedation. Results: Total of 60 subjects was studied wherein they were divided largely into two study groups. Group 1 included the patients who were given 0.3 mg/Kg oral midazolam, while group 2 included patients who were given 0.5 mg/Kg. ‘Houpt’ scale was used for comparing the results. Data were obtained and compiled in various tables in logical manner. All the results were finally entered on Microsoft excel sheet and were analyzed by SPSS software. Conclusion: Approximately similar level of conscious sedation is produced by oral midazolam, in terms of efficacy, at both the dosages.
