Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Intranasal Midazolam Group
Patients with isolated mandibular fractures undergoing open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) under local anesthesia will receive intranasal midazolam for sedation.
Midazolam administered intranasally at a dose appropriate for conscious sedation. Sedation depth will be assessed using the Observer Assessment of Alertness/Sedation (OAA/S) scale. Blood pressure and heart rate will be monitored intraoperatively.
Experimental: Intranasal Dexmedetomidine Group
Patients with isolated mandibular fractures undergoing open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) under local anesthesia will receive intranasal dexmedetomidine for sedation.
Dexmedetomidine administered intranasally at a dose appropriate for conscious sedation. Sedation depth will be assessed using the Observer Assessment of Alertness/Sedation (OAA/S) scale. Blood pressure and heart rate will be monitored intraoperatively.
