Effect of recall frequency following dental treatment under general anesthesia on caries risk in pediatric patients

Mohammad, 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

Assessment of Parental Satisfaction with Dental Treatment Under General Anaesthesia in Paediatric Dentistry

Luong, Ngoc 10 January 2011 (has links)
Purpose: To identify and compare pre-treatment and post-treatment parental expectations and satisfaction concerning their child’s dental care under general anaesthesia. Participant characteristics were also investigated. Methods: Questionnaires were administered to all parents who attended the pre-operative anaesthesia consultation (pre-treatment group) and to all parents who returned for post-operative reassessment (post-treatment group). Participants were asked to rate the importance and frequency of 27 events on a four point Likert Scale. Parents were also asked to complete a participant characteristics information form. A score was calculated for each item in the questionnaires by multiplying the item’s mean “importance rating” and the item’s mean “expectation rating” and the items were ranked by scores. Results: Complete responses were obtained from 100 parents of the pre-treatment group and from 100 parents of the post-treatment group. In each group, the highest ranked elements were those representing information and communication while the physical conditions of care tended to be least valued by the parents. The rank-order of the importance scores showed a moderate to strong positive correlation with the rank-order of the frequency scores. Conclusion: Parents placed value on good communication and provision of information with regard to dental treatment of their children under general anaesthesia.

The Effectiveness of a Preventive Recall Strategy in Children Following Dental Rehabilitation Under General Anesthesia

Kerns, Amanda, Dr. 01 January 2016 (has links)
Abstract THE EFFECTIVENESS OF A PREVENTIVE RECALL STRATEGY IN CHILDREN FOLLOWING DENTAL REHABILITATION UNDER GENERAL ANESTHESIA By Amanda Kerns, DDS A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Dentistry at Virginia Commonwealth University. Virginia Commonwealth University, 2016 Thesis Advisor: Elizabeth Berry, DDS, MPH, MSD Vice Chair, Assistant Professor, Department of Pediatric Dentistry Purpose: This was a prospective randomized controlled trial assessing the impact of a preventive strategy following full-mouth dental rehabilitation (FMDR) in children with early childhood dental caries. Methods: 130 patients completed FMDR and were included in the analysis. Caries risk assessment (CRA), dental exam, and a caregiver oral health knowledge (OHK) questionnaire was completed for each patient. Patients were randomized into two groups; intervention returned at 3 and 6 months and control returned at only 6 months post-surgery. At each recall, CRA and dental exam information was recorded, and at the six month recall, all caregivers completed the OHK questionnaire. Results: Actual recall data showed a statistically significant difference in CRA at six months, with 71.8% of patients in the control and 44.8% of patients in the intervention assessed as high caries risk. Conclusions: The actual recall data suggests this recall strategy is effective in reducing CRA level following FMDR.

Supraspinal actions of pentobarbital on transmission through the spinothalamic tract

Namjoshi, Dhananjay 05 1900 (has links)
Despite the advances made in our understanding of the molecular mechanistic actions of general anesthetics very little is known about the in vivo neural circuits involved in creating the state of general anesthesia. To date the common consensus is that general anesthetics act ubiquitously within the CNS. Recently, (Devor and Zalkind, 2001) have reported that microinjections of pentobarbital (PB) into a discrete brainstem focal area of conscious rats induced a classical, reversible general anesthesia-like behavioral state. The authors concluded that this area, termed the mesopontine tegmental anesthesia area (MPTA), may be important for the induction of general anesthesia. The purpose of the present project was to study the neurophysiological basis of the analgesia, which accompanied the state of general anesthesia induced by PB microinjections into the MPTA that was reported by (Devor and Zalkind, 2001). Here, sensory inflow via the spinothalamic tract (STT), a classical spinal nociceptive pathway in the rat, was assessed using single neuron extracellular recording techniques before, during and after microinjections of PB into the MPTA. Spontaneous firing rate (SFR), antidromic firing index (FI) and sciatic as well as sural nerve-evoked responses (Sc-, Su-ER) of STT neurons in isoflurane-anesthetized rats were quantified before as well as 2, 15, 30 and 60 min following bilateral microinjections of either PB (200 micrograms/side) or vehicle control solution (Vh, 1 microliter/side) into the MPTA. The group mean SFR, FI as well as magnitudes of Sc-, Su-ER of STT neurons were significantly and reversibly reduced following PB microinjections compared to corresponding baseline measurements. There were no significant changes in any of the three parameters following microinjections of Vh compared to the pre-microinjection baseline responses. The results from this study indicate that analgesia, which occurs during the anesthesia-like state following microinjections of PB into the MPTA, may be due to attenuation of sensory inflow through the STT. The suppression of STT neurons likely occurs via direct and/or indirect descending pathways from the MPTA to the spinal cord. This study provides the first direct electrophysiological evidence for the analgesia caused by PB microinjections into the rat MPTA.

Study of Peri-operative Complications in Persons with Disabilties under Dental Treatment under General Anesthesia at the Mount Sinai Hospital

Sharma, Vandna 20 December 2011 (has links)
This was a two part study. Part one was a retrospective chart review to ascertain the prevalence and predictors of peri-operative complications in PWD receiving their dental care under general anesthesia (GA). Part two was a prospective survey of parents/caregivers regarding their satisfaction with the service as well as to ascertain the prevalence of post-operative symptoms incurred by patients. In Part 1, the prevalence of complications in PWD was 4 times higher than the 6% stated in the literature for the general population. Time under GA, and no previous history of dental care under GA were significantly related to complications. In Part 2, 100% of patients experienced post-operative symptoms; nonetheless, 92.7% of parents/caregivers were satisfied with the service provided. There prevalence of complications in the PWD in this study was high. Prior to treatment under GA, adequate pre-operative medical evaluations must be completed and time under GA minimized.
