The therapeutic effectiveness of nitrous oxide and chloral hydrate administered orally, rectally, and combined with hydroxyzine for pediatric dentistry.
This study compared the effectiveness of three pediatric sedation modalities when they were used with nitrous oxide. Comparisons were based on a subjective evaluation of the overall quality of the sedation technique and data obtained from a pulse/oximeter. Oral administration of 50 mg/kg of chloral hydrate was the least effective modality.
