Recent advances in conscious sedation.

Conscious sedation for dental procedures is constantly developing. Midazolam remains the most widely used agent, although there has been encouraging research into patient-maintained sedation (PMS) with propofol. This article reviews the use of sedation in children, recent advances with propofol, and outlines current opinion on multiple drug sedation techniques. There is also a description of the current recommendations for training in the practice of conscious sedation.
