The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of children’s tonsil size on the behavior during pediatric dental sedation. The sedation records of thirty five children were examined in this study. All the sedations had been performed using chloral hydrate/hydroxyzine, nitrous oxide/oxygen or/and submucosal midazolam, and the subjects were divided into 4 groups according to their tonsil size using Brodsky’s tonsil classification. The results were as follows: 1. The patients with enlarged tonsils showed negative behaviors in all behavior rating aspects(sleep, movement, crying, overall behavior) during sedation than those with normal tonsils(p<0.05). 2. Enlarged tonsils were correlated with mouth breathing(p<0.05) but not with snoring and coughing(p>0.05) during sedation. 3. For the patients with enlarged tonsils, significantly higher doses of midazolam were administered during sedation than for those with normal tonsils(p<0.05).
