ABSTRACT
To evaluate the effectiveness of nitrous oxide oxygen inhalation sedation as an adjunct to dental behavior management and allowing the treatment to be carried out for children. The dental records of 224 patients, belonging to healthy children were examined. The administration of nitrous oxide-oxygen gas mixture in the range of 30%-39% profoundly influenced the behavior of anxious children enabling them to co-operate and allow satisfactory dental treatment to be carried out. There was a significant relationship between the use of local anesthesia and the successful outcome of treatment. The acceptance of inhalation sedation was not related to the gender of the patient. There was a significant relationship between the age of the patient and success of inhalation sedation. Nitrous oxide was found to have significant effect on uncooperative child behavior
