Randomized Controlled TrialEffectiveness of two nitrous oxide scavenging nasal hoods during routine pediatric dental treatment.
This study compared the effectiveness of 2 nasal hoods (Porter/Brown and Accutron) in reducing waste nitrous oxide gas during conscious sedation for routine pediatric dental treatment. ⋯ This study demonstrated that removal of waste nitrous oxide was greater with the Porter/Brown device and that recommended suction levels must be used for optimum effectiveness.
