I.v. sedation for conservative dentistry. A comparison of midazolam and diazepam. 1986

I Barker, and D G Butchart, and J Gibson, and J I Lawson, and N Mackenzie

Midazolam and the emulsion formulation of diazepam were compared in a cross-over study in 50 patients undergoing out-patient conservative dentistry, with particular regard to sedation and the quality of recovery. Both agents proved effective, but sedation was achieved more rapidly with midazolam (P = 0.001) and was more effective (P less than 0.02). Significantly greater anterograde amnesia for the dental procedure (P less than 0.001) and a more rapid return to normal activities (P less than 0.02) were found with midazolam. Psychometric testing, however, failed to show any objective differences between the treatments. A mean dose of midazolam 0.14 mg kg-1 was required to achieve sedation equating to 0.29 mg kg-1 of diazepam, although there was considerable variation between individual patients.

It is used in dentistry, cardiac surgery, endoscopic procedures, as preanesthetic medication, and as an adjunct to local anesthesia. The short duration and cardiorespiratory stability makes it useful in poor-risk, elderly, and cardiac patients. It is water-soluble at pH less than 4 and lipid-soluble at physiological pH.
