The use of nitrous oxide in the treatment of children: results of a controlled study.
The sequential analysis of behavior has begun to show that the behavior of the dentist is a major influence on the fear-related behaviors of children, even when N2O is used. The moment-to-moment behaviors of the dentist influence the child's behaviors. Certain behaviors of dentists, such as distraction, appear to be effective especially when the N2O is being administered.
