Local anesthesia and gas use in children's dental surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving numbing medication before putting children to sleep for dental work reduces the amount of anesthesia gas needed. It may help make dental procedures safer and more efficient for kids aged 4–12.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child is between 4 and 12 years old
- Scheduled for planned (non-emergency) dental work under general anesthesia
- Child is in generally good health (ASA status I or II—no serious heart, lung, liver, kidney, or nerve disease)
- Anesthesia plan uses sevoflurane gas and a breathing tube through the mouth
- Parent or legal guardian provides written permission
- No allergies to sevoflurane, numbing medications (articaine), or epinephrine

This study compares two types of anesthesia gas (sevoflurane/dexmedetomidine vs. isoflurane) to see which helps prevent agitation or confusion when children wake up after surgery. It is for children ages 2–7 having certain ear, nose, throat, eye, or urology procedures with an IV and breathing tube.
This study tests a type of anesthesia that uses less gas for children ages 3 to 10 getting eye muscle surgery. It may be safer and cause fewer side effects.
This study compares two ways of giving anesthesia to children under 10 during surgery, with a focus on how the child wakes up and breathes when the breathing tube is removed. It may help doctors choose safer, smoother anesthesia for pediatric surgeries.
This study tests two different breathing methods during the start of anesthesia in children to see which one causes fewer breathing problems. It may help your child have a smoother and safer anesthesia experience.
This study tests how the anesthetic sevoflurane affects when children start sweating during surgery. Knowing this could help doctors better monitor body temperature and keep children safe during procedures.
This study compares two common anesthetics, sevoflurane and desflurane, to see how they affect a measure of stress called the Analgesia Nociception Index (ANI) during surgery. It aims to find which one might be better for patients undergoing general anesthesia.
