Possibilidades de sedação química em pacientes especiais

The present work aims to conduct a literature review on the possibilities of chemical sedation in special patients, considering that sedation has been used as a complement for managing pain and anxiety in patients experiencing these specific feelings. The methodology adopted is based on a literature review of articles available on PubMed, Scielo, Google Scholar, books, and dental journals in Portuguese and English. In this context, a study was conducted on the techniques of chemical sedation, their indications, and contraindications specifically focused on patients with special needs. The importance of sedation management for controlling and improving the treatment of these patients is emphasized.
