Abstract

Managing uncooperative behaviors related to dental treatment is necessary for guiding children and adolescence to more favorable behaviors. The first approach should be controlling their behaviors using non-phamarcologic behavior management techniques. However, if this approach fails, it is helpful to control negative behaviors pharmacologically. Accordingly, sedation is frequently used to relieve anxiety related to dental treatment. Also, general anesthesia has been applied to the situations in which sedation is either ineffective or impossible to gain cooperation during treatment. This article discusses the pharmacology of widely used sedatives for children and adolescence and clinical considerations of managing uncooperative children and adolescence with the use of sedation. Furthermore, we recommend clinical indication of selecting general anesthesia rather sedation for the purpose of behavior management.
