ABSTRACT

Purpose: The aim of this study is to analyze dental treatment cases in the Department of Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry at ITS Dental College and Hospital, conducted under nitrous oxide sedation, over a 4-year period.

Methods: All the data was collected via Orion software and filtered through Microsoft excel by the author itself.

Results: There was a statistically highly significant difference seen for the frequencies between the groups (p<0.01) with higher frequency for PULPECTOMY with age group 1, EXTRACTION with age group 2 & 3.

Conclusion: Nitrous oxide sedation is an effective tool for various treatment procedures in pediatric setup like extractions, pulpectomy, minor laser procedures, restorations etc. that can be done with ease and is more comfortable for the patient, the major advantage being reduction in the anxiety during any painful procedure.
