Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  INTRANASAL MIDAZOLAM SEDATION  Baseline vital values will be established with pulse oximeter. Intranasal midazolam dose: 0.2mg/kg administered using INSED atomizer (5mg/ml) will be given to the patient. Exact dose will be calculated based on patient weight. Time of drug administration will be noted. Sedation level, behaviour and pain perception will be assessed.  
Comparator Agent  NITROUS OXIDE -OXYGEN SEDATION  Baseline vitals will be established before induction. Initial administration: 100% oxygen for 2-3 minutes to determine flow rate of 5-6 L/ml will be done. Titrated nitrous oxide-oxygen mixture will be administered and maintained. Sedation level, behaviour and pain perception will be assessed. Termination will be done by giving 100% oxygen administered for 5 minutes.  
Intervention  TRICLOFOS ORAL SOLUTION (PEDICLORYL)   Baseline vitals established with pulse oximeter. 70mg/kg triclofos oral solution (Pedicloryl 500mg/5ml) will be given orally. Dosage will be calculated based on patient weight. Time of drug administration will be noted. Sedation level, behaviour and pain perception will be assessed.

Brief Summary  

Dental fear significantly impacts pediatric dentistry, with prevalence ranging from 5.7% to 19.5%, often deterring children from regular visits and increasing oral health risks. Addressing dental anxiety is crucial to improving immediate care and preventing long-term oral health issues. Non-pharmacological methods like Tell-Show-Do, distraction, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) are effective, while pharmacological options, including sedation, are necessary for some patients.

Conscious sedation, using agents like midazolam, triclofos, and nitrous oxide, plays a key role in managing dental anxiety. Each sedation method has distinct benefits, with nitrous oxide offering rapid onset and recovery, intranasal midazolam providing effective anxiolysis, and triclofos acting as an oral sedative. However, limited randomized clinical trials compare their efficacy. This study aims to evaluate the sedative effectiveness of nitrous oxide, intranasal midazolam, and oral triclofos in pediatric dental patients
