Propofol induction confers no recovery advantage over thiopentone; confirms lack of superiority for psychomotor outcomes in dental anesthesia with nitrous oxide-halothane.
Does propofol induction improve postoperative psychomotor and cognitive recovery compared to thiopentone in unpremedicated dental patients?
Propofol induction offers no advantage over thiopentone for postoperative psychomotor and cognitive recovery in dental patients when anesthesia is maintained with nitrous oxide and halothane.
