Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To demonstrate non-inferiority of a single dose of intranasal dexmedetomidine for conscious sedation of patients with intellectual disability with dentophobia to treatment under general anesthesia;Secondary Objective: To assess the ease of induction of general anesthesia in patients with intellectual disabilities and dentophobia after a single dose of intranasal dexmedetomidine.;Primary end point(s): • Proportion of patients in whom dental treatment under procedural sedation with intranasal dexmedetomidine can be finished and is not terminated because of inadequate sedation. • Proportion of patients in whom dental treatment under general anesthesia can be finished and is not terminated because of inadequate sedation. • mRASS-score at specified dental treatment events after dexmedetomidine treatment compared to agitation score descriptor from the non-pharmacological Trial-of-Treatment • mRASS-score at specified events during induction for general anesthesia compared to agitation score descriptor from the non-pharmacological Trial-of-Treatment ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: From start of dental treatment until comlpetion of dental treatment or until induction of general anesthesia

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): • Type of dental treatment events tolerated after dexmedetomidine treatment compared to type of dental treatment events tolerated without pharmacological support in the dental policlinic “Bijzondere Tandheelkunde”. • Progress made in dental treatment as compared to earlier Trial-of-Treatment without pharmacological support ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: From start of dental treatment until comlpetion of dental treatment or until induction of general anesthesia
