Abstract
- Certain oral surgery can be performed safely under monitored anesthesia care (MAC) with local anesthesia. Several drugs, such as propofol, benzodiazepine, and opioids have been used for MAC either alone or in combination. Benzodiazepine may cause excessive sedation and confusion, and propofol can also result in disorientation and excessive sedation. Low dose propofol anesthesia with the concomitant use of dexmedetomidine is an effective technique for MAC in patients who are scheduled for intraoral surgery.
