The aim of this study is to evaluate benefits of the method of dental sedation using Target controlled infusion (TCI) combined with Bispectral index (BIS) monitoring in patients with Mental Retardation and challenging behavior.
The intravenous sedation of using of propofol is very effective for dental patients with Mental Retardation and challenging behavior. However, it is very difficult to titrate the dose of propofol for maintaining the adequate sedative depth because of the difficulty of verbal communication with them. Therefore, the infusion of excessive propofol dose elicits the complications and delay of recovery.
