      Abstract

      • 1.
        1. Salivary depressants are useful in dentistry when a dry field is required.
      • 2.
        2. Five different medications, including a placebo, were tested on twenty-two subjects, aged 8 to 12 years, of approximately the same body weight.
      • 3.
        3. The method of evaluation and the apparatus employed were satisfactory for this study.
      • 4.
        4. The medical examination determined the physical reactions to the administration of these salivary depressants. A reflex reaction test should be added to the physical examination to determine the presence of drowsiness.
      • 5.
        5. Banthine was the most effective salivary depressant, but Phenergan and Elorine may be advantageous for some dental procedures.
