Abstract

Intravenous (IV) sedation with midazolam works as an anxiolytic and muscle relaxant agent and has proved successful in providing safe root canal treatment (RCT) for patients with dental anxiety or special care needs. However, before starting RCT under IV sedation with midazolam, clinicians should consider obtaining a thorough medical history and written, informed consent including any significant or unavoidable risks. A responsible adult escort should also accompany the patient to their appointment. The dental team should also ensure labelling the IV sedation drugs and irrigant solutions, and using a well-sealed rubber dam. CPD/Clinical Relevance: This article provides clinical recommendations to help provide safe RCT under IV sedation with midazolam.
