Versed vs Twilight sleep?!
Question: For use in dentistry is Versed the same as Twilight sleep or is it considered in the same category? Mainly extractions.
How safe its it?
I prefer hearing from someone with experience or has used the procedure, not just opinion or guessing answers. Thanks
Answer:
Versed is used in what's called "twilight sleep" but you're not really asleep during the procedure.
IV sedation is EXTREMELY safe when carried out under the supervision of a specially-trained dentist. Purely statistically speaking, it's even safer than local anaesthetic on its own!
However, contraindications include pregnancy, known allergy to benzos, alcohol intoxication, CNS depression, and some instances of glaucoma. Cautions include psychosis, impaired lung or kidney or liver function, and advanced age. Heart disease is generally not a contraindication.
