[Use of Dormicum (midazolam) injection in oral surgery under local anesthesia]

Authors report on the sedative anxiolytic and anterograde amnesia causing effect of "Dormicum", in connection with 170 dental and/or oral surgery interventions. Initial dose of Dormicum was 0.1 mg/body weight kgs,--necessary repetitions occurred with 0.02-0,03 mg/body weight kgs. In 75% of the patients an acceptable level of sedation developed by using 0.1 mg/body weight kgs. In more than 90% of the cases anterograde amnesia could be observed, which seemed to be the most important element of this kind of treatment.
