Oral sedation in dentistry: evaluation of professional practice of oral hydroxyzine in the University Hospital of Rennes, France

ConclusionsCareful analysis of the literature and results of this work showed the safety of hydroxyzine within the maximum dose authorized without adverse effects, compared to other molecules described and commonly used in dentistry. No adverse effects during dental procedure were noted. This allows for minimal sedation with efficiency for the great majority of pediatric treatment. This solution should be the first step in sedation to help practicing clinicians.
