Anxiety is the most common stigma experienced by the patients undergoing minor oral surgical procedures. The role of the surgeon depends solely on the methods employed in decreasing the level of anxiety in these patients. The most commonly followed procedure on an outpatient basis is the conscious sedation technique. Conscious sedation can be induced by various routes of administration such as inhalation, intravenous, oral and intramuscular routes. Amongst them intravenous sedation is one of the most effective methods for the management of anxiety and associated pain in an outpatient basis. “DEXMEDETOMIDINE HYDROCHLORIDE” is one of the ideal conscious sedative agent. In our study we selected dexmedetomidine hydrochloride for conscious sedation in 10 healthy anxious patients undergoing minor oral surgical procedures such as extractions, operculectomy, frenectomy and mucocele excision with a mean age of 31.9 years (25-40 years).
