- Second-generation antipsychotics for major depressive disorder and dysthymia

- Sedation of children undergoing dental treatment
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Dec-2018
Children's fear about dental treatment may lead to behaviour management problems for the dentist, which can be a barrier to the successful dental treatment of children. Sedation can be used to relieve anxiety and manage behaviour in children undergoing de
