Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyBuccal versus intranasal midazolam sedation for pediatric dental patients.
The purpose of this randomized, controlled, crossover clinical trial was to evaluate and compare the behavioral differences resulting from the sedative effects of atomized buccal (transmucosal) and atomized intranasal (parenteral) midazolam (0.3 mg/kg) as a method for sedation of pediatric dental patients. ⋯ Atomized buccal and intranasal midazolam are both effective for sedation of pediatric dental patients and have the same maximum working time. However, atomized intranasal is more acceptable by children, has faster onset time, and children demonstrate less crying.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyEffect of palonosetron on postoperative nausea and vomiting in children following dental rehabilitation under general anesthesia.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of three different intravenous (IV) doses of palonosetron compared with placebo for the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in children undergoing dental rehabilitation under general anesthesia (DRGA) in the first 24 hours after discharge. ⋯ A single 0.0025 mg intravenous dose of palonosetron is recommended for further evaluation, as it appears to be an effective dose for prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting in children undergoing dental rehabilitation under general anesthesia.

Randomized Controlled TrialEffectiveness of new distraction technique on pain associated with injection of local anesthesia for children.
Distraction is one of the most commonly used techniques for control of pain associated with injection procedures. This study's purpose was to evaluate the effect of a distraction technique using audiovisual (A/V) glasses on pain perception during administration of local anesthesia for children. ⋯ Distraction induced by audiovisual glasses was an effective way to reduce the pain associated with injection of local anesthesia.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudySuccess rates of mineral trioxide aggregate, ferric sulfate, and formocresol pulpotomies: a 24-month study.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the total success rates of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), ferric sulfate (FS), and formocresol (FC) as pulpotomy agents in primary molars. ⋯ ZOE, as the only pulpotomy medicament, had a significantly lower success rate than MTA. No significant differences were observed, among the 3 experimental materials (MTA, FC, and FS) at 2 years follow-up.

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.
