Abstract

Worldwide, Midazolam has been widely and effectively used for pediatric dental sedation; however, it is very limited used in Vietnam. This systematic review and meta-analysis was performed on 7 studies with 871 children under 16 years of age in order to evaluate the effectiveness and to analyze the influencing factors of midazolam intervention through oral and mucosal tract. Four studies in the meta-analysis of 664 interventions had a higher sedation success rate through oral (87,2%) than mucosal (81.4%) route; Odd Ratio Fixed: 1.59 times (95%CI: 1.03 – 2.45), Odd Ratio Overall: 1,59 times (95%CI: 1.03 – 2.46). Two other studies comparing 71 children showed that the duration of mucosal (33.2 minutes) was shorter than oral work (40.09 minutes). All differences were not statistically significant with p > 0.05. In addition, mucosal sedation has a faster onset; altering the taste of oral drugs, using N2O and local anesthetics all contribute to the increase in duration and effectiveness of sedation. In conclusion: two routes of administering Midazolam are highly feasible in pediatric dental sedation in Vietnam, with Midazolam mucosal route being more suitable when early intervention is required.
