title: [Safety of intravenous sedation with midazolam for dental treatment].
abstract: In the December 2014 issue of the Nederlands Tijdschrift voor Tandheelkunde, T.H. van den Berg and B. Preckel published an article entitled 'Mild intravenous sedation with midazolam by dentists'. Broers et al responded to this article arguing that the administration of intravenous sedation with midazolam by dentists is unsafe for patients. In the current article the authors, Van den Berg and Preckel, address the points of criticism.
