    AbstractThere is a lot of controversy around the subject of sedation for children. There are many sedative agents capable of providing successful results but there are also issues regarding their safe use on a regular basis. Guidelines do exist but sometimes there is leeway for different, individual interpretations. This pilot study is an attempt to explore the different views held on the matter of sedation as an adjunct to dental treatment for anxious children. An e-questionnaire was used and results varied. The preferred sedation type was inhalational sedation and the guidelines most dentists agreed with came from the GDC. Further research is definitely required in this field.
