Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate benefits of the method of dental sedation using Target controlled infusion (TCI) combined with Bispectral index (BIS) monitoring in patients with Mental Retardation and challenging behavior.

Detailed Description

The intravenous sedation of using of propofol is very effective for dental patients with Mental Retardation and challenging behavior.
