title: Management of the refractory young child with chloral hydrate: dosage selection.
abstract: Chloral hydrate is often selected for its wide range of safety, yet concerns are increasingly raised about its frequent failure to provide adequate levels of sedation while using the recommended hypnotic dosage. This paper discusses the implications of these weaknesses in a pedodontic context.
