Sedation in pediatric patients undergoing dental treatment: case reports
Resumo
Anxiety, fear and phobia of dental treatment are present in a large part of the population. As an effective method to control anxiety, sedation is currently present in dental offices, acting in a positive way in dental care procedures. In pediatric dentistry, the fear regarding consultation is mainly caused by the fact that the environment is new and unknown, and sometimes it is necessary to use sedative drugs, so that the care is efficient, fast and safe. This study is a case report involving two pediatric patients with dental treatment phobia who underwent sedation performed in an outpatient clinic under the supervision of an anesthesiologist. We conclude that drug sedation is a technique that should be considered in cases where there was no success in behavioral management to control aversive behavior in pediatric patients with phobia and the incorporation of this technique enables safe and effective dental care.
