The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of Valeriana officinalis L. 100 mg in single oral doses one hour preoperative as conscious sedation during the impacted lower third molar surgery.
An increase in the utilization of anesthesia and sedation medications by non-anesthesiologists, including dentists, has grown dramatically. This has been prompted, in part, by the need for pharmacological tools to address high levels of fear and anxiety about dental care among the US population and the evidence of oral health disparities among those who are fearful . Given the prevalence of dental fear in the general population and in the various populations with the greatest burden of oral diseases, effective sedation techniques are needed that are safe and effective in the hands of general dentists that make up the "front line" in the efforts to reduce oral health disparities. This study is to determine whether, when compared to a saline placebo, a single intraoral submucosal administration of the benzodiazepine antagonist flumazenil (0.2 mg) is capable of attenuating in 10 minutes or less the central nervous system (CNS) depression produced by a paradigm of stacked sublingual dosing of triazolam (3 doses of 0.25 mg over 90 minutes).
This is a randomized study in which two groups will be used to compare the effectiveness of a computerized psychological therapy compared to an information only control group (pamphlet) for reducing fear of dental injections.
The primary purpose of the trial is to assess how effective pregabalin, alprazolam, and placebo are at reducing anxiety levels of subjects who take a dose of these treatments 4 hours before a scheduled dental procedure.
