Abstract
Sedation in dentistry has been a controversial topic because of its safety. During sedation, the reduction of physiological and psychological responses of the patient to surgery is obtained, without loss of consciousness, collaboration and reflexes. It is treated for moderately anxious patients and allows for a calm and relaxed patient during therapy with amnesia. Sedation required level should be individually adjusted to attain a correct balance between the wants of the patient, the operator and therefore the safety of the procedure. Surgical time is a vital factor for post-operative phases and this might be greatly increased by whether the patient interrupts the surgeon or not. Frequently, the emotional and anxious component makes the treatment difficult. The use of conscious sedation is proved to be winning in the dental practice as it controls these aversions for the dentist. This method, furthermore as being effective has the nice advantage of being safe and of routine use in an ambulatory environment.13
