Abstract: The safe and effective treatment of uncooperative or combative preschool children with extensive dental needs is one of pediatric dentist's ongoing challenges. The traditional methods of behavior management are no longer acceptable to parents as they are not ready to spare more time for dental treatment of their children.

Twenty uncooperative chi… Show more

In these studies, midazolam provided the best results in terms of onset time of action, depth of sedation, and anxiolysis (16-20,27). …”
