简要总结
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral melatonin as a sedative agent in pediatric dental patients aged 3–12 years. The primary objective is to assess the sedation success rate and anxiety reduction during dental procedures, using standardized behavioral and sedation scales. Secondary objectives include evaluating child cooperation, physiological stability (heart rate, oxygen saturation, blood pressure), recovery profile, and adverse events.
Children requiring dental treatment under sedation will be randomly allocated to receive oral melatonin prior to the procedure. Sedation depth, treatment completion, and recovery will be documented. The study seeks to determine whether melatonin can serve as a safe, effective, and well-tolerated alternative to conventional sedatives in pediatric dentistry.
