Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The proportion of elderly patients has been increasing in recent years, as has the risk of cardiovascular accidents caused by tension, pain, and other stimuli in dental treatment. Because there is a high demand for dental treatment for elderly patients under conscious sedation, it has attracted a lot of attention. This paper examines the current state of research on and application precautions for commonly used conscious sedation techniques such as oral sedation, inhalation sedation, and intravenous sedation. A number of studies have shown that different sedation methods have the advantages of reducing hemodynamic fluctuations and relieving anxiety in clinical applications, so they have promising application prospects. However, with perfect pre-sedation assessment, appropriate sedation medication, comprehensive sedation monitoring, and effective emergency plans, this technology can better ensure clinical safety.
