Sedation applications in pedodontics procedures: which one should we choose?: a retrospective analysis
This retrospective study provides comparative insights into three sedation regimens for pediatric dental procedures. The dexmedetomidine-ketamine combination demonstrated superior intraoperative stability and fewer respiratory complications, though recovery was prolonged. These findings may guide clinicians in selecting appropriate sedation strategies to improve safety and procedural outcomes in cases involving shared airway management.
