Midazolam vs Propofol in Minor Oral Surgical Procedure: Concious Sedative Agents Sushil K. Gupta

Dentistry over the years has been held by lay man as a feeling of dread. This fear of the dentist over the generations has been mainly due to unpleasant experiences incurred by the patient either due to lack of knowledge or of previous dreadful experiences of dental treatment narrated to them. In routine practice we encounter certain circumstances which do not empower the practitioner neither to use general anaesthesia nor it is advised to carry out the procedure under local anaesthesia alone. Thus the lack of understanding of the conveyed verbal massage to these patients made the attempted procedure virtually a nightmare to the attending surgeon which resulted in an inferior surgical outcome. Hence the technique of anaesthesia in the form of CONSCIOUS SEDATION was developed.
