Managing major neurocognitive disorder

Older patients with major neurocognitive disorders, previously called dementia, can have difficulty accepting dental treatment. Midazolam is a benzodiazepam that is used as premedication in pediatric patients, for oral surgery, and in persons suffering from dental fear. Its usefulness in other groups, such as those with major neurocognitive disorders, is relatively unknown. A population of older dental patients was evaluated for acceptance of treatment after midazolam administration.
