Main dental treatment performed under intravenous midazolam sedation for patients with dental anxiety disorder (DA) and patients with intellectual disability (ID).
Figure 1.
Comparison of cooperation scores between both groups during dental treatment.
The distribution of the three levels of Venham score, at each time point and for each group. Ti: At first contact with the dentist; T0: During venous cannulation; T1: At the end of the induction; T2: During the first injection of local anaesthesia; T3: At the moment of least cooperation during initial dental treatment. DA: Group of patients with Dental anxiety disorder; ID: group of patients with Intellectual Disability. *** = significant difference between the two groups of patients (p<0.001, Fisher exact test).
Table 6.
Safety of the technique. Distribution of the different types of minor adverse events. DA = dental anxiety; ID = intellectual disability.
Table 7.
Level of sedation. Distribution of the Ramsay scores recorded over the sessions (T4: on first opening of the mouth for examination after induction; T5: at the start of actual dental treatment; T6: at the end of dental treatment).
Figure 2.
Influence of IV midazolam repetition on cooperation scores in both groups.
The distribution of the three levels of Venham score, at each time point and for each group, in relation to the session being a first experience of sedation (First exp.) or a repeat session (Reit.). Ti: At first contact with the dentist; T0: During venous cannulation; T1: At the end of the induction; T2: During the first injection of local anaesthesia; T3: At the moment of least cooperation during initial dental treatment. DA: Group of patients with Dental Anxiety disorder; ID: group of patients with Intellectual Disability. Significant difference between the two groups of patients, Fisher exact test: *** = p<0.001, ** = p<0.01, * = p<0.05.
