Use of intravenous sedation in hemodynamic control, satisfaction, and anxiety reduction in dental implant surgeries: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Abstract
Introduction:
In recent years, dental implant surgeries have expanded and the use of intravenous sedation with these surgeries can be of great benefit. Therefore, the aim of this systematic review and meta analysis was to evaluate the scientific literature related to the effect of intravenous sedation on patient and surgeon satisfaction, hemodynamic control and patient anxiety.
Methods:
A comprehensive review of the literature on the effects of intravenous sedation on patient and surgeon satisfaction, hemodynamic control, and patient anxiety reduction was performed at the Cochrane Library, Proquest, Scopus, PubMed(MEDLINE), Embase and Ovid Web sites from 1990 to August 2018.
According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria identified for the study, 10 articles were selected for final review during several screening stages.
Results:
After thorough review of the final articles extracted based on the study protocol, it is concluded that the use of intravenous sedation in the implant surgeries reduces the anxiety of the patients and consequently their effective hemodynamic control and also increases the satisfaction of the patients and surgeons.
