Abstract

Conscious sedation is an anesthetic technique becoming common in current dental practice. Patients ask increasingly for sedation and analgesia, with 85% of patients subjected to oral surgery preferring the combination of local anesthesia and conscious sedation rather than only local anesthesia. In uncooperative patients it may expedite the conduct of oral procedures that are not particularly uncomfortable but require the patient not to move. Many procedures usually made in patient undergoing general anesthesia can be carried out under appropiate sedation providing less costs and risks or the patient. The aim of this article is to describe monitoring and equipement required and administration techniques (enteral, inhalation, parenteral) more frequently used for conscious sedation.
