Multiple: Most oral surgeons use a combination of drugs often including midazolam, fentanyl, ketamine, propofol, and glycopyrrolate. The technique will vary according to surgeon preference and patient requirements. For very best results, make sure you are evaluated and treated by a board certified oral & maxillofacial surgeon.
