I.v. midazolam was compared with diazepam in 112 dental outpatients in order to obtain a control of sedation. Midazolam has shown better results in all the parameters evaluated (memory scale, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics values) and in controlling sedation. The Authors consider midazolam as a preferred drug in dental outpatients and hope to get it available also in Italy.
