Purpose: The purpose of this study was to survey program directors and students of advanced pediatric dentistry training programs in the United States on sedation issues. Methods: Surveys were sent to the target audiences. Questions contained response categories ranging from fill-in-the-blank, Likert-order scale style, and categorical The surveys resided on Survey Monkey. A cover letter emphasizing such issues as anonymity of responses was sent via e-mail to participants using the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry listserv. The responses were downloaded and subsequently analyzed using SPSS statistical software. Results: Data were obtained from 49% of program directors and 17% of students. Experience with different routes of sedative administration varied from "none" (even with the oral route) to "significant." Oral midazolam was the most-often used route and sedative. Restraint was reportedly used by the majority of programs. Conclusions: Strategies should be developed to strengthen consistency of competencies in sedation practices across academic training programs.
