Brief Summary   Salivation is a double-edged sword in dental practice. It is desired for its protective and healing nature to the oral structures but undesirable due to the need for isolation during most dental procedures. A clean and dry field of operation is a requisite in most of the dental procedures and becomes the parameter deciding the success of majority of treatment modalities. In Pedodontics it becomes essential for painless and quick measures to achieve this isolation so as to initiate maximum co-operation from the child. Atropine sulphate drops have been widely used intra-orally as they are known to decrease salivary secretion due to their muscarinic antagonistic activity. This study aims to evaluate the effect of atropine sulphate drops sublingually in decreasing the salivary flow during the span of a dental procedure. A dose-monitored locally administered drops propose to decrease the salivary secretion in this study and make isolation easier and effortless. They are short-acting with a reversible action so as to provide the patient and operator a safe working window.
