Twenty-four anxious dental patients requiring emergency extractions for the relief of pain were offered inhalation sedation with 25 per cent nitrous oxide as an alternative to general anaesthesia. The treatment of 22 patients was successfully completed by 2 final year dental students. Twenty patients (83 per cent) expressed a marked preference for the technique rather than general anaesthesia which they had also experienced.
