When facing fear or anxiety situations some patients require treatments under conscious sedation with mida­zolam, which require to be mixed with a vehicle for its administration, however there is few information about how it could affect its absorption. Aim: to assess the conscious sedation level in relation to the administration of midazolam with three di­fferent vehicles. Material and Methods: observational, retrospective and comparative study of 45 conscious sedation files of which 20 met the inclusion criteria. Data was taken from the medical records and analyzed evaluating the age, gender, comparing the sedation level according to the Houpt scale and vehicle used (Paracetamol, fruit juice and brown sugar with juice in a spoon). The SPSS statistics program for the chi square test, frequen­cy analysis, mode and mean was used to analyze de data, with a significance level of 5%. Resu...

Objective: Dentoalveolar trauma is one of the most prevalent injuries treated by the dentist and its highest incidence is in the child population, which is why the purpose of the study was to validate a questionnaire to measure the level of knowledge of dentoalveolar trauma in pediatric dentistry patients. Materials and methods: An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional and prospective research was carried out by creating an instrument composed of 21 multiple-choice questions. The instrument was subjected to an expert judgment and a pilot test to be applied to a total sample of 150 participants (50 undergraduate students of Stomatology, 50 general dentists and 50 specialists in pediatric dentistry). 50% of the sample was surveyed again (test retest). Results: the questionnaire reached a high content validity by obtaining a score of 0.98. The KR20 analysis showed a high reliability o...
