Aims: The objective of the current study was to evaluate the effectiveness of oral midazolam-hydroxyzine with/without nitrous oxide. Design: This was a randomized split mouth, cross over and triple-blinded clinical study. Thirty uncooperative healthy children aged six to nine, whose needed dental treatments.
The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of combining oral midazolam-hydroxyzine with/without N2O/O2 in sedating uncooperative schoolchildren undergoing dental treatment. Thirty uncooperative healthy children aged six to nine were randomly selected to receive either one tablet of oral midazolam 7.5 mg and one tablet of hydroxyzine 10 mg with 100% O2 (regimen A), or one tablet of oral midazolam 7.5 mg and one tablet of hydroxyzine 10 mg with 50% N2O/O2 (regimen B) in a crossover design. Behavior was assessed using the modified Houpt behavioral rating scale, by evaluating the videotapes of all patients at both the pretreatment phase (injection, rubber dam RD, operating high-speed handpiece with touching the tooth without drilling) and the treatment phase (drilling, restoration).

Behavior improvement on the modified Houpt behavioral rating scale
Behavior assessment improvement related to the addition of N2O/O2 to the combination midazolam-hydroxyzine.
Time frame: Behavior will assess at the end of the session (about 30-90 min) by evaluating the sessions 's videotapes using overall assessment (range from 1 to 4, higher values represent a better outcome) of the modified Houpt behavioral rating scale
