parental separation. Harder induction, higher postoperative pain, emerging agitation, and possibly postoperative behavioral and psychological problems can result from untreated anxiety. This study aimed to compare intranasal dexmedetomidine (DEX) 2 μg/kg vs. 3μg/kg for children undergoing dental surgery. This randomized double-blinded study involved 80 children aged 2 to 10 years old of both sexes, planned for dental surgery. They were allocated into two groups according to DEX intranasal dose given 30 minutes before general anesthesia (GA) induction, GI: 2μg/kg and GII: 3μg/kg. IV cannulation was done before the GA induction. The results showed that GII had a significantly better parental separation anxiety scale, Ramsay sedation score, and IV cannula acceptance score than GI (P <0.001), without significant difference as to parents' satisfaction score.
