Abstract

General and practical training, knowing of safe methods of preanesthesia, pain and anxiety control and establishing a good relation with the patient are some of the most important methods of patient management in the dental office. The final goals of the methods are to obtain a calm patient, haemodinamic equilibrated and safely prepared for the surgery.

Material and method: Our study was performed on 448 patients. Different methods of preanesthesia were used by administrating per oral, intravenous, intramuscular, according with DAS score: Midazolam, Diazepam + Algocalmin, Xanax.

Results: 58% of our patients declared after surgery that their satisfaction score is 100% positive after one of our methods of preanesthesia.

Conclusion: When choosing the appropiate premedication, the ability of the analgesic and anxiolytic drug to improve pain tolerance should be one of the most important criteria. Doses must be correlated with the anxiety score DAS, road use and the probable duration of surgery.
