Researchers have found in a new research that both buccal (85%) and intranasal (80%) midazolam proved effective in calming uncooperative children during dental procedures.
Behavioral management techniques are not always sufficient, and then it is necessary to use pharmacological management methods.
The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of buccal midazolam sedation with intranasal midazolam in non-cooperative children during dental treatment. A randomized single blinded comparative clinical study consisted of 40 children aged 3–6 years who were divided randomly into two groups: Group A intranasal midazolam and Group B buccal midazolam.
