Abstract

Congenital heart defect is a form of cardiovascular disease present since birth and
occurs due to development disorder. A type of congenital heart defect is ventricular
septal defect. Oral sedation has been used in dentistry, especially on child patients to
overcome the anxiety of dental care. Chloral hydrate is a monohydrate derivate from
chloral (trichloroacetaldehyde)which is hypnotic sedative medication and which is
used for oral sedation. Chloral hydrate is used to mitigate anxiety before operation,
usually after operation to overcome pain. Management of cardiovascular child
patients in dentistry requires complete handling, in efforts to prevent the occurrence
of bacterialis endocarditis. This paper discusses oral and dental condition and their
management in cases of children with ventricular septal defect heart disorder. A sixyear

old boy was reported with ventricular septal defect going to undergo a heart
operation. The patient was very non-cooperative in getting dental treatment. Oral
sedation with chloral hydrate was performed for patient during dental patching and
extracting. Mouth preparation was completed in two visits.
