Midazolam might be an alternative to general anesthesia for noncooperative children. 40 children were treated during 94 midazolam sedations to evaluate the potential dental therapy. An average of 2 fillings and 1 endodontic treatment was possible per sedation. The initial Midazolam dosage was 0.6 mg/kg. Every 15 min another 0.3 mg Midazolam/kg were administered to maintain the treatability of the children. 30 min after the initial Midazolam dosage dental treatment could be started. The average duration of a sedation was 76 min. Our results suggest that sedations complement under dental treatment general anesthesia.
