<p>The prevalence of impacted teeth is a very frequent finding with maxillary canines being the second most common, next to third molars. These teeth pose greater aesthetic deficiencies and are addressed through a variety of treatment modalities. Patients with critically impacted canines, that are not amenable for orthodontic traction are usually opted for extraction. Restoring these teeth with a single piece basal implant aids in immediate loading, and a permanent solution, without using bone grafts. This case series of three patients reports the successful restoration of maxillary canines, after surgically extracting them.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Background and aim</strong>: Behaviour management is the corner stone of pediatric dentistry. Inhalation Sedation (IS) technique is safe &amp; effective adjuvant in reducing anxiety, and producing analgesia. To assess the attitude of pediatric dentist towards the usage of Inhalation sedation and also to investigate the barriers and obstacles faced by them during usage of IS in their routine clinical practice.<br /><strong>Materials and methods</strong>: Mixed method study design conducted among 200 pediatric dentist in a metro city. A 18 point questionnaire with 12 closed question &amp; 6 open ended questions was administered to200 pediatric dentist. Quantitative data was presented as percentage, frequency and qualitative data was thematically analysed.<br /><strong>Results:</strong> Use of IS in pediatric dentistry was beneficial as an effective Behavior Management Technique (BMT). Regarding the safety in the usage of IS in dental setup, 90.9 % respondents agreed that IS is safe enough to be used in clinical setup. Parental acceptance of using IS for their child is a variable strata and has individual perceptions attached to it. Qualitative data was thematically analysed and after an in depth interview with different respondents various themes were generated.<br /><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Significant gap in the knowledge and practice of inhalation sedation among the study population was found. Through qualitative analysis, major barriers in utilisation of IS was identified.</p>
