Triazolam (Halcion): One Drug Oral Sedation
Cost: A few dollars.
Effect: A few hours.
Can work and drive: The next day.
Half lives of the most commonly used benzodiazepines:
Valium: 20-50 hrs.
Ativan: 10-20 hrs.
Halcion: 2-3 hrs.
Bottom Line with triazolam:• 0.25 mg or 0.50 mg one hour before the
procedure will decrease:
– anxiety,– the perception of pain, and– postoperative recall of discomfort
without significant adverse effects. Overdose symptoms develop with four times the maximum therapeutic dose (0.50 mg) or 2 mg.
0.25 mg.
Triazolam Equivalency:
• 0.50 mg triazolam given orally 60 minutes prior to the procedure is equivalent to 10-15 mg IV Valium for decreasing anxiety and producing amnesia.
Baughman, VL, et al. 1989
Rules with oral sedation:
• Current health history
• Written informed consent
• Check pulse, BP and oxygen saturation
• A reversal agent (Romazicon) is available
• Written postoperative instructions
• Accompanied by a responsible adult before and after the procedure

Maximum dose I prescribe:
0.5 mg
Mistake: Took 1.0 mginstead of 0.5 mg.

Septocaine(Septodont)
Articaine
From top ten “Can’t Live Without.” list:
#3 Septocaine (Articaine).
Why?• More profound• Faster onset• Good for “hot” teeth,
hard to numb patients• Infiltrate lower anterior
Recent SurveyHow many have had paresthesia over
last two years from Articaine?
• Out of 300: 30 (10%)– Up to 8 times as much as Lidocaine
• Lasted over two months: 5
• Numb tongue, lip, sloughing with PDL injection…
