Apprehension and phobia regarding dental procedures are represent the most common deterrents in patients seeking dental care and very common. For these individuals, and others who cannot cooperate during care, procedural sedation may permit completion of intraoral procedures. In most cases, the level of sedation may be kept at minimal to moderate levels permitting patient maintenance of their airway patency and ventilation. Unlike many medical procedures, the majority of dental procedures, no matter the depth of sedation, are performed in the presence of complete analgesia provided by local anesthesia. Therefore, the goal of procedural sedation is to primarily suppress patient fear and apprehension and gain cooperation. Any issues regarding actual pain are usually limited to that produced by the local anesthetic injections or, rarely, the extent of the procedure. For the extremely phobic patient, however, allaying apprehension may be very challenging. Intravenous titration of sedative drugs is the most effective route of administration to achieve this goal but requires advanced training beyond that provided in undergraduate training.

Midazolam은 단기 작용 benzodiazepine 계열의 약물로서 소아치과 영역의 진정치료에 널리 사용되고 있다. 하지만 소아환자의 치과치료시 정주진정법으로서의 midazolam의 임상적인 효과는 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 이번 연구에서는 소아환자의 치과치료시 midazolam 정주진정법 및 아산화질소 흡입진정법의 효과와 안정성에 대해 후향적인 분석을 시행하였다. Midazolam 정주 및 아산화질소 흡입진정법 하 치과치료를 시행한 115명(118례)를 대상으로 하였다. 인구통계학적 요소, 환자의 전신상태, 진정시간, midazolam 및 아산화질소의 용량, 진정법의 성공률에 대해 전자의무기록을 통해 조사하였다. 진정법은 행동조절을 목적으로 주로 사용되었다. 평균 진정 시간은 수술 치료의 경우 56.7분, 수복 치료의 경우 74.4분이었다. 정맥 내 midazolam의 초기 투여량은 0.051 ± 0.019 mg/kg이었다. 34건(28.8%)에서 치료 중 0.036 ± 0.057 mg/kg의 추가적인 midazolam의 투여를 시행하였다. 아산화질소의 농도는 40 - 50%로 유지되었다. 진정법의 성공률은 99%(n = 117)였다. 1 건의 증례에서 후두 경련이 발생하였고 이로 인한 치료 중단 후 환자는 benzodiazepine 길항제인 flumazenil으로 가역되었다. 이 연구에서는 아산화질소 흡입진정을 동반한 midazolam 정주진정법이 임상적으로 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 성공적인 진정법을 위해서 모든 과정이 훈련받은 전문인력에 의해 시행되어야 하고 가이드라인을 바탕으로 한 적절한 환자 선택이 필요하다.

To compare the sedative effects using intermittent intravenous bolus injection with tiletamine-zolazepam (n = 5, TZ group), xylazine-ketamine (n = 5, XK group) and propofol (n = 5, PI group), we investigated the changes of hemodynamic (heart rate, arterial pressure), $SpO_2$, rectal temperature, respiratory rate and pain score during 60 minute sedation and 40 minute recovery period in beagle dogs. The value of rectal temperature was significantly higher in PI groups (p<0.05) during recovery period. The value of heart rate was significantly lower in XK group (p<0.05) during sedation. The changes of respiratory rate were similar tendency in all groups. The change of $SpO_2$ was stable during sedation and value was significantly higher in PI group (p<0.05) during recovery period. The value of systolic arterial pressure (SAP) was significantly lower in XK group (p<0.05) than PI group during sedation and recovery period. Low analgesic effect occurred in PI group. We concluded that intravenous anesthesia by intermittent bolus injection with propofol is useful in stabilizing rectal temperature, $SpO_2$ and hemodynamic during sedation and provide fast recovery, but have low analgesic effect.

소아환자는 치과치료시 다양한 방법의 진정요법이 요구된다. 정맥내 투여방법은 약효의 발현이 빠르고, 진정의 심도 및 시간을 술자의 의도대로 조절할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. Midazolam은 현재 의과 및 치과영역에서 성인의 진정요법에 가장 널리 쓰이며, 심혈관계와 호흡계에 대한 영향이 적은 진정 약제이다. 그러나 midazolam을 이용한 정맥내 진정요법의 소아치과에서의 사용에 대한 연구와 보고는 적은 편으로, 이에 본 연구에서는 소아환자에서의 midazolam을 이용한 정맥내 투여시 효과적이고 안전한 초기 투여용량에 관한 연구를 하고자 한다. 진정요법으로 2회 이상의 구치부 치료가 필요한 건강하고 비협조적인 행동을 보이는 16명의 환자를 대상으로 하였으며 평균연령은 $54.7{\pm}10.7$개월, 평균 몸무게는 $18.1{\pm}3.0kg$이었다. 술전 투약으로 0.3mg/kg, 최대 5mg의 midazolam을 근육내 투여 후 30~50%의 $N_2O-O_2$를 병용투여한다. 이중 맹검법에 의해 모든 환자는 두 번의 내원 중 임의로 한번은 0.1mg/kg(I군)을, 다른 한번은 0.2mg/kg(II군)의 초기 용량의 midazolam을 정맥내 투여하여 치료하였고, 추가투여시에는 초기용량의 1/2을 투여하였다. 치료시 환자의 생징후를 측정하였고, 행동양상은 Ohio State University Behavioral Rating Scale과 Automated Counting System을 사용하여 평가하였다. 술자는 Houpt가 제시한 기준을 응용하여 임상적 치료의 성공과 실패를 평가하였다. 몸무게에 대한 총 투여용량은 I군에서 0.16mg/kg, 2군에서 0.24 mg/kg 이었다. 생징후의 경우 두 군 모두 정상범위 내에서 안정된 상태를 보였고, 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다(p>0.05). 행동양상평가에서 II군에서 바람직한 행동양상(Quiet)의 비율이 높았고, 임상적 성공률은 II군에서 높았으나, 두 군간 통계학적 유의차는 보이지 않았다(p>0.05). 작용 발현시간은 II군에서, 회복시간은 I군에서 빨랐고, 약물 투여 횟수는 I군에서 많았으나, 두 군간 통계학적으로 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다(p>0.05).

Dental treatment under sedation requires various sedation depths depending on the invasiveness of the procedure and patient drug sensitivity. Inappropriate sedation depth may cause patient discomfort or endangerment. For these reasons, patient-controlled sedation (PCS) pumps are commonly used. Patients are able to control the sedation depths themselves by pushing the demand button after the practitioner sets up the bolus dose and lock-out time. Dexmedetomidine is an ${\alpha}$-2 adrenoreceptor agonist with sedative, analgesic, and anxiolytic properties. It has been widely used for sedation for its minimal respiratory depression; however, there are few studies on PCS using dexmedetomidine. This study assessed the applicability of dexmedetomidine to PCS.

Introduction: This study examined the depth of sedation and the usefulness of the monitoring tool in determining the level of sedation in patients undergoing third molars extraction under conscious sedation with midazolam. Materials and Methods: Twenty two patients undergoing third molars extraction at the department of Oral and Maxillofacial surgery, Ewha Womans Mokdong Hospital from February 2010 to April 2010 were analyzed. All patients were classified as American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) class I and had no contraindications tosedation. The bispectral index was recorded continually during surgery using a bispectral monitor. The initial sedation was accomplished using a 3 mg bolus of midazolam followed by a 2 mg bolus of midazolam until the level of sedation, at which the patient’s eyes were closed or the subject was responsive only to loud or repeated calling of their name, was reached. All subjects were surveyed with a postoperative questionnaire to evaluate the level of sedation. Results: The bispectral index (BIS) decreased approximately 5 minutes after midazolam administration, but increased at the local anesthesia injection and odontomy procedure. The amnestic effect was shown effectively in the early stages of surgery. Conclusion: Conscious sedation with intravenous midazolam is effective in achieving the effect of anxiolysis, analgesia and amnesia. The BIS is an objective and useful means of assessing the depth of sedation.

Sedation allows patients to maintain their airway independently and respond appropriately to physical stimulation and verbal command while maintaining a minimum depressed level of consciousness. Drugs commonly used for sedation of pediatric dental patients include a combination of chloral hydrate, hydroxyzine, and nitrous oxide-oxygen. Midazolam is a benzodiazepine and currently one of the most commonly used intravenous sedative agents. It can be easily titrated to provide a wide range of sedation, from conscious sedation to deep sedation, and exhibits a wide safety margin without severe respiratory and circulatory depression. At an appropriate dose, it also decreases patient anxiety and induces amnesia. We found that the submucosal administration of midazolam combined with chloral hydrate provided increased sedative effects and decreased the postoperative vomiting response compared with conventional chloral hydrate administration, with no significant difference in physiological responses. The depth of sedation can be titrated using this technique.

Background: Intravenous sedation is effective for dental patients who are anxious. Recently, target-controlled infusion (TCI) has begun to be used widely to administer and titrate propofol and remifentanil during sedation. To investigate the effect and safety of the pharmacologic agents used in anesthetic department, we performed a retrospective study. Methods: Retrospective study of a series of dental procedure under intravenous sedation performed in department of anesthesiology in Dental Hospital of Dankook University was carried out with propofol or propofol/remifentanil between January and August 2011 and January and April 2012. All patients received oxygen by nasal cannula. The average propofol and remifentanil target was 0.5 ${\mu}g/ml$ and 1.0 ng/ml, respectively using a TCI pump. The average peripheral oxygen saturation ($SpO_2$), heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, nasal end-tidal $CO_2$ were recorded at 5-10 minute intervals. The age, gender, weight, procedure and sedation time, type of procedure were also recorded. Results: We included 22 cases of 19 adults (group A) and 6 cases of children (group B). In group A, 4 patients received propofol (group A-P), and 15 patients received propofol with remifentanil (group A-PR). In group B, 6 patients received propofol only. The mean age of group A was 41.1 years old and that of group B was 9.5 years old. No clinically significant complications were noted. There were no case of de-saturation <90%. The median respiratory rate was 13.1 (range 6 to 36) in group A and 19 (range 13 to 25) in group B. The median end tidal $CO_2$ was 36.7 mmHg(range 8 mmHg to 56 mmHg) in group A and 41.7 mmHg (range 30 mmHg to 53 mmHg) in group B. Conclusions: Based on our results, dental sedation using propofol/remifentanil in adult and propofol in children with TCI pump seems to appear as a safe and effective procedure while performing dental procedure.

The usage of nitrous oxide is increased for the anxious patient to dental treatment. There are two methods to induce the sedation during dental treatment. One is sedation with drugs the other no need of drugs. We discussed here about sedation with drugs. The methods of drug administration are oral, intramuscular, intravenous, inhalation. The method of oral administration of drugs are convenient to patient and doctor but poor controllability. Intramuscular method is a parenteral technique that maintains several advantages over the enteral technique. However its pales in comparison to other parenteral technique. Intravenous method represents most effective method of ensuring predictable and adequate sedation in all patients. But it has inability to reverse the action of drugs after they have been injected except some drugs (e.g., narcotics and benzodiazepine). A variety of gaseous agents may be administered by inhalation to produce sedation. In dental practice, the inhalation administration of gas means use of nitrous oxide. There are many advantages of nitrous oxide administration. First, very short latent period and rapid onset of drug action which lead to possible titration of drug concentration. With nitrous oxide, clinical effects may become noticeable as quickly as 15 to 30 seconds after inhalation. Recovery from inhalation sedation is also quite rapid. In out patient dental practice rapid recovery is very important because it permit to discharge the patient without escort and the patient return to their ordinary life without limit. To success the conscious sedation with nitrous oxide, the administrator should be keep the mind that always titration of nitrous oxide concentration during induction and treatment. Careful observation need during treatment to prevent oversedation because the adequate nitrous oxide concentration to patients changed by environmental stress. Always begins with 100% oxygen and ends with 100% oxygen to prevent diffusion hypoxia which rare in clinical practice.
