Abstract
Abstract: In pediatric dentistry, the practitioner is often confronted with the care of difficult children who do not cooperate with care, for whom the use of a severe sedation technique is essential.Conscious sedation by inhalation of the equimolar mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide (MEOPA) in Pediatric Dentistry constitutes an excellent solution to reduce anxiety and to improve the cooperation, thus allowing the realization of dental care in the best conditions.The objective of this review of the literature is to present Equimolar Oxygen and Nitrogen Protoxide Mix (MEOPA), to raise the interest of its use in pediatric odontology. A documentary search strategy was carried out in databases such as PUBMED, EMBASE, COCHRANE, and HINARI. The articles provided by the electronic search at the different databases and by the manual search were reviewed. The data collected were analyzed after implementation of the inclusion criteria: Articles dealing with the presentation of MEOPA from 2003 to 2014, Studies in humans and / or animals written in English or French. The search strategy implemented found 102 articles but after the application of filters and inclusion criteria. Only 12 articles dealing with the interest of MEOPA in the treatment of patients in dentistry and more particularly in pediatric odontology were selected for the analysis of the literature.
