Intravenous sedation and patient response to minor oral surgery--experience of 408 cases.
This article presents the results of a patient questionnaire on response to minor oral surgery carried out under local anaesthetic and intravenous sedation. The predominantly favourable response of the respondents leads the author to suggest the use of IV sedation as a means of reducing patient anxiety, and so increasing dental attendance.
