Efficacy of Inhaled Sevoflurane Sedation Compared with Nitrous Oxide in Managing Children Undertaking Dental Extraction: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract

Background: For many years dental anxiety is considered as a major problem in behavior management. Nitrous Oxide Inhalation sedation can be used to reduce anxiety and manage children during treatment, but it is not successful in all cases. The aim of this study was to compare the relative effectiveness of inhalation sedation using nitrous oxide(A) with new inhalation sedation technique using sevoflurane (B), in management of children receiving dental extractions.
