ABSTRACT
The study assessed the dosage, clinical sedative effect, and safety of intraoral and intranasal midazolam in 20 children from the pediatric dental clinic. Data was collected fasm children classified as ASA 1 and Frankl type II and III. Sedation was adequate to ensure successful completion of treatment in patients with oral sedation. Sedation was achieved with an oral dosage of 0.3 mg/kg of midazolam chlorhydrate. There were no signs of respiratory depression or of oxygen desaturation below 98% on pulse oximetry. No supplemental oxygen was required and there were no other complications. It is concluded that intraoral midazolam is a safe and effective alternative in the definitive treatment to reduce in pedodontics children.
