Abstract

Anxiety, dental phobia, parental expectations, and challenging patient behavior highlight the need for sedation in paediatric dentistry. Various pharmacological drugs are present within the oral sedation which helps in achieving a calm, relaxed patient who can guard their own airway, sustain their own respiration, and respond to vocal commands. An in-depth overview of oral sedation in pediatric dentistry is what this review’s main goal is to deliver. It will provide knowledge for practitioners who wish to administer oral sedative medications to their pediatric patients. The pharmacodynamics and pharmacology of frequently used oral sedative drugs will be discussed, along with pre-operative concerns, monitoring equipment requirements, and physiological considerations of the paediatric patient.
