The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical sedation effect of chloral hydrate and hydroxyzine combination, midazolam, triazolam when young children were sedated for dental treatment. The uncooperative 22 children aged, 25 to 52 months of age(ASA class I) and weighting between 11 and 17kg, participated in the study. Each patient was assigned randomly to receive chloral hydrate(50mg/kg) and hydroxyzine HCl(25mg), midazolam(0.5mg/kg), and triazolam(0.25mg) oral administration : alternative regimens were administered at next appointment. According to rating scale, sleep, crying, movement, and overall behavior response were checked for evaluation of the clinical sedation effect. Pulse rate and oxygen saturation were also measured for monitoring the patients during treatment period by pulse oximeter. The results were as follows: 1. In the evaluation of sedation effect, 90.9% in chloral hydrate and hydroxyzine combination and midazolam, and 77.3% in triazolam were rated "good" or "very good". 2. Sleep was demonstrated to be statistically significant increase in chloral hydrate and hydroxyzine combination group. Despite the fact that chloral hydrate and hydroxyzine group was in a deeper state of sleep, all the children were easily aroused. 3. There were no statistically significance among the three regimens with regard to cry ing, movement, overall behavior. 4. The adverse side effect was vomiting in one patient of chloral hydrate and hydroxyzine combination. There were no clinical sign of respiratory depression.
