DENTAL TREATMENT WITH SEDATION

The term “conscious sedation” was introduced by the American Dental Society of Anaesthesiology and refers to a medically-controlled state of sedation of a conscious patient, which keeps the patient free of anxiety, tension and pain, while being conscious and spontaneously breathing; it also allows the patient to respond to physical stimuli and verbal commands.

Even in long interventions, patients perceive that the treatment was short and they barely keep any memories.
