title: [Treatment of deciduous teeth under rectal Midazolam sedation].
abstract: Individual controlled sedation using Midazolam proves to be a valuable addition to the range of therapeutic options for non-cooperative children. In a clinical study the oral and rectal routes of administration were compared with each other. Rectal application allowed considerably better dose adjustment. While the quality of sedation and the therapeutic range were equal with both routes, rectal application had the advantage that treatment can be commenced sooner. The sedation was of shorter duration and left the patient with less unpleasant memories. Rectal application was easier and required a smaller amount of Midazolam than oral administration.
