A comparative study of the Oral health Status of Cardiac and Non-Cardiac paediatric patients at Tygerberg HospitalZafar, Sobia January 2008 (has links)
Magister Scientiae Dentium - MSc(Dent) / The aim of the study was to determine the oral and debntal health status of pediatric cardiac patients, 12 years of age and younger, and compare them with non-cardiac patients. A total of 150 children, 75 with known cardiac condition (study group) and 75 no-cardiac (control group) were examined. No statistically significant differences were established in the study between the caries experience score for the cardiac and control groups. The study concludes that the cardiac group generally has a higher decay component and a lower missing component which may be an indication of the lack of dental intervention. The gingival inflammation was significantly higher in the cardiac group although the plaque scores were similar in the two groups. / South Africa

A clinical television evaluation of plaque formation in childrenEichel, Ronald Andrew, 1941- January 1969 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / The purpose of this study was to determine the
rate of plaque formation in children and its relationship
to their periodontal and caries indices and to
evaluate a television area measurement instrument.
Plaque formation at 6-, 24-, 48-, and 96-hour intervals
was observed in 56 children aged 8 through 12 to
establish the rapidity of its reformation after a thorough
dental prophylaxis. The plaque was recorded with disclosing
agents and oriented Polaroid photographs and
measured by newly developed television and electronic
area measurement instrumentation which proved to be highly
reliable. The presence of caries and periodontal disease
was then correlated with the amount of plaque recorded at
each observation period. A high correlation was found
between the Anterior P-M-A and the Periodontal Index.
No significant correlations were found between the
periodontal indices and the DMFs scores or with the amount
of plaque present and the DMFs scores. Seventy-seven per cent of the children displayed measurable amounts of plaque just 6 hours after a thorough dental prophylaxis. In comparing
the amount of plaque formed by these children with
results reported from similar studies conducted on adults,
it is apparent that children in this age group form more
plaque in less time than adults. A significant correlation
was found between the amount of plaque present and the periodontal indices at the 48-hour examination.

An evaluation of ketamine hydrochloride for use in pedodontic out-patientsO'Brien, Daniel N., 1945- January 1973 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / The need for a safe but effective agent to sedate dental patients
who are severe behavior management problems prompted this investigation
of ketamine HCl. Ketamine HCl is a general anesthetic agent
with the unique property of selectively depressing the higher centers
of the brain without adversely affecting respiration or cardiac output.
Sixty behavior problem pedodontic patients were selected at
random and placed in one of three groups to receive the following
treatments: Treatment I - ketamine HCl and scopolamine; Treatment
II - ketamine, scopolamine, and droperidol, and Treatment III -
ketamine, scopolamine, and nitrous oxide-oxygen analgesia.
Each treatment group received ketamine HCl 2 mg/lb and 0.1 -
0.3 mg scopolamine. The second two treatment groups were supplemented
with droperidol .025 mg/lb or nitrous oxide-oxygen (20-50%)
to maintain anesthesia.
The patients were given a series of pre and post-treatment mental
and physical tests and were considered completely recovered when they
could equal their pre treatment test scores. Routine dental restorative
procedures limited to one and one-half hours were carried out with the
use of the ruber dam.
Onset of anesthesia was five minutes for all three treatment
groups. Treatment III showed a significantly longer working time but
recovery times were not significantly different between groups. Ketamine
HCl was determined to be a safe, effective agent for use in pedodontic
outpatients provided prescribed techniques are followed. Complications
were infrequent and minor and parental response was considered
satisfactory.

The effects of primary alvelar bone grafting on maxillary growth and developmentTanimura, Leslie K. January 1993 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / This investigation served as a follow-up of the unilateral and bilateral
cleft lip and palate patients who underwent primary alveolar bone grafting at
James Whitcomb Riley Hospital of the Indiana University Medical Center. The
sample consisted of 18 patients, 15 males and three females, who received
primary alveolar grafts between September 7, 1983 and March 5, 1985.
Thirteen had complete unilateral clefts, and five had complete bilateral clefts of
the lip and palate. The mean age of the group was 8 years, and none had
received orthodontic treatment.
The statistical analysis of the lateral cephalometric radiographs revealed
significant differences in maxillofacial growth between the Riley sample
population and the non-cleft, age-matched patients in the University of Michigan
Growth Study. The Riley data were, overall, statistically and proportionately
smaller than the normal population. These findings are due to the smaller
skeletal size of the Riley group.
Arch symmetry measurements indicated that at 8 years of age there were
significant differences from ideal or perfect symmetry. Due to existent dental
development and scarring from the palatal procedure, these findings were
expected. Ideal symmetry may not be a realistic achievement for the cleft
patients.
Palatal surface area values were visually analyzed through graphs. The
growth patterns of the Riley population were similar to those of the normal and
non-grafted cleft groups in a study from the University of Miami. The data
supports the theory that primary alveolar bone grafting, as performed at James Whitcomb Riley Hospital, does not result in growth attenuation.

Informed consent: A comparative study of attitudes among pediatric dentists and trial attorneys in IndianaBuccino, Michael A. January 1988 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Malpractice litigation is on the increase and a lack of informed consent is more frequently becoming primary
and secondary causes of action. A study was designed to compare and analyze the viewpoints of Indiana pediatric
dentists and trial attorneys concerning the doctrine of informed consent. The ultimate goal was to share the information with both groups and raise the level of awareness of the doctrine among pediatric dentists. A three-page questionnaire dealing with the doctrine
of informed consent was mailed to 85 pediatric dentists and 350 trial attorneys practicing in Indiana. The response rate for pediatric dentists was 70.6 percent and the response rate for trial attorneys was 61.4 percent.
Overall, most pediatric dentists and trial attorneys were moderately familiar with the doctrine of informed consent. However, trial attorneys do not feel that pediatric dentists conform to the doctrine, while pediatric dentists perceive that they do conform. Pediatric dentists and trial attorneys recommend that informed consent be obtained orally and then documented on an informed consent form. Both professional groups agree that obtaining informed consent is necessary in the practice of pediatric
dentistry. Unfortunately, pediatric dentists and trial attorneys do not f eel that predoctoral dental school education or specialty training prepares the pediatric dentist to obtain an informed consent. Not surprisingly, both groups feel that pediatric dentists are more concerned with obtaining informed consent today than they were in the past. Most pediatric dentists are obtaining informed consent in less than five minutes. However, pediatric dentists feel that the time spent obtaining informed consent has either remained the same (55.9 percent) or increased (44.1 percent); trial attorneys feel that this trend has increased (81.5 percent). Overall,
pediatric dentists and trial attorneys disagree on whether parental consent is required for specific patient types. Moreover, the two groups agree on the type of consent necessary. For 20 dental procedures (54 percent) and disagree on 17 dental procedures (46 percent). Finally, most trial attorneys and pediatric dentists feel that conforming to the doctrine of informed consent reduces or eliminates future malpractice litigation.

General Dentists' Role in providing care to very young children:Pediatric Dentists' PerspectiveRazdan, Shinjni 01 January 2015 (has links)
To examine the pediatric dentists’ perspective on level of care to children 0-3 years old by general dentists, an electronic survey was sent out to 5185 AAPD members and 769 responded (response rate: 14.8%). Forty-six percent agreed with a general dentist providing a dental home to children 0-3 years old. Only 24% agreed that general dentists could perform complex restorative and behavior management procedures for 0-3 years old. Younger respondents, pediatric dentists who practice in rural areas or teaching pediatric dentistry, and those who perceived adequate exposure during dental school were more likely to agree on general dentists proving a dental home (p values ranged from <0.0001 to 0.022). This study finding can help guide what level of care general dentists may provide and when a referral to a pediatric dentist is recommended and the appropriate competency level of entry-level general dentists to care for 0-3 years old.

Comparison of Triple Combination Oral Sedation Regimens for Pediatric Dental TreatmentHenderson, Brett H 01 January 2019 (has links)
Purpose: Compare the efficacy of two benzodiazepines (diazepam or midazolam) in combination with meperidine and hydroxyzine for pediatric dental sedation. Methods: A randomized, double blind observation study of behaviors and outcomes related to two sedation groups. Frankl and Houpt behavior scores were recorded at three time points: injection time, initiation of treatment and at the end of treatment. Postoperative phone call surveys were conducted within eight hours of discharge to assess sleep, activity, and behavior. Results: A total of 40 sedation subjects were included in the study, of which 20 were treated with diazepam triple Combination (Di+M+H) and 20 with midazolam triple regime (Mi+M+H). Treatment was successful for 45% of cases with midazolam and 70% with diazepam (P value=.20). Houpt sleep scores were significantly higher for diazepam than midazolam at injection (P-value=.0043) and during treatment (P-value=.0152). Although Frankl scores, Houpt move and Houpt cry scores tended to favor diazepam, none were statistically significantly different. More abnormal behavior was reported with midazolam, though not statistically significant (35% vs 6%, P-value=.0854). Postoperative sleep time was longer for midazolam, but not significantly different (median sleep time: 61 vs 45 minutes, P-value=.2071). Conclusion: The diazepam, meperidine, hydroxyzine triple combination sedation regimen shows promising results as a successful alternative to midazolam triple combination. Longer postoperative monitoring may be required with diazepam, but this study has shown postoperative sleep times to be less than previously reported. Larger sample size is needed to determine if the current trend will be maintained.

Effect of recall frequency following dental treatment under general anesthesia on caries risk in pediatric patientsMohammad, Omar 16 June 2016 (has links)
Due to the early onset of caries in many children general anesthesia is often required in order to treat the dental disease. Unfortunately following dental treatment under GA, many children have caries relapse, which often requires a repeat GA in order to accomplish the new dental treatment. The objective of this study was to determine if recall frequency following treatment under general anesthesia affects the likelihood that children will require new dental treatment under a repeat GA. 674 charts were reviewed from a private Pediatric dental practice located in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada where patients who underwent a GA for dental treatment were investigated. It was found that those patients, who required new treatment following an initial treatment under GA, were less likely to receive a repeat GA for new dental treatment if they attended more frequently for a recall examination. / October 2016
