Abstract

Abstract In Malaysia, the use of intravenous sedation for dental treatment is not well-practiced by dentists as majority of them do not have the experience and training in giving intravenous (IV) sedation for their patients. We describe 2 cases of adult patients with Down syndrome successfully underwent IV sedation for dental treatment using midazolam and the procedure's benefit is discussed. The aim of this case report is to show that intravenous sedation using midazolam can be successfully performed by a well-trained dental specialist in Malaysia with a proper protocol.
