Aim:
Nitrous oxide sedation is an effective and safe pharmacological behaviour management technique that has been used in dentistry for many decades. The aim of this study was to assess the patients', accompanying adults' and dentists' satisfaction with dental treatment under nitrous oxide sedation.
Materials:
This questionnaire-based study was conducted at the Department of Preventive and Pediatric Dentistry at the University of Greifswald in Germany. A questionnaire was distributed to eligible patients (n=51), accompanying adults and treating dentists. The opinions of accompanying adults and dentists were assessed by means of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).
Conclusion:
Most patients, accompanying adults, and dentists expressed high satisfaction with dental treatment under nitrous oxide, as it effectively enhanced the cooperation making the treatment in the majority of cases possible and more acceptable.
