K. Diagnosis andProblem List
Diagnosis
• Dental caries
Problem List
• No dental home
• Poor oral hygiene and cariogenic diet
• Caries risk assessment is high
BACKGROUND INFORMATION 1
Local Anesthesia Administration (Figure6.2.2)
• Discomfort of local anesthesia administration can be lessened by:
Use of topical anesthetics: available in gels and sprays Counter irritation: application of vibratory stimulation or moderate pressure at the site of injection (Figure6.2.3)
L. Comprehensive Treatment Plan
• Dental caries requiring restoration using local anesthesia (see Background Information 1 and Fundamental Point 1)
• Implement aggressive prevention plan
• Recall visits every three months
Figure 6.2.2 Local anesthetic infiltration in maxillary vestibule.
M. Prognosis andDiscussion
• Good prognosis for dental treatment since patient is cooperative
• The patient has a guarded prognosis for future dental caries due to poor oral hygiene and diet and the lack of a dental home
• Establishment of a dental home and compliance with a rigorous prevention plan would improve the prognosis and caries risk assessment
• It is important to give very clear postoperative instructions to the patient and parents. They must be instructed to avoid any manipulation (chewing, scratching, etc.) of the anesthetized tissue to avoid self‐inflicted trauma (see Background Information 2)
Figure 6.2.3 Local anesthetic palatal infiltration. Mirror handle is used as counter irritation.
Distraction: maintain constant communication to keep attention away from syringe Slow rate of administration: administration of a cartridge of anesthetic should take at least one minute
(Gosnell and Thikkurissy 2019)

N. Common Complications andAlternative Treatment Plans
• What should you do if you reach the maximum recommended amount of local anesthetic and the child is still complaining of pain?
• What should you do if the child bites his lip or tongue after receiving local anesthesia?
BACKGROUND INFORMATION 2
Local Anesthesia Complications (AAPD2018–2019)
Paresthesia fromLocal Anesthesia
• Defined as persistent anesthesia beyond the expected duration
• Caused by trauma to the nerve or “electric shock” on injection
• Risk is 1 : 1 200 000 for 0.5%, 2%, and 3% local anesthetics
• Risk is 1 : 500 000 for 4% local anesthetics
• Most cases resolve in about eight weeks
Soft Tissue Trauma
• Caused by chewing or biting soft tissue while numb
• What other types of local anesthetics could be used?
• What are some behavior management techniques that could be used to help with the administration of local anesthesia?
• What are the subjective signs of local anesthesia?
• Bilateral mandibular block does not increase the
risk of soft tissue trauma when compared to unilateral mandibular block
• Use local anesthetics that minimize the residual
soft tissue anesthesia
• Advise caregivers of the amount of time that the
soft tissue will be numb
• If possible, have the child bite on cotton rolls
ligated with dental floss until the soft tissue anesthesia has worn off
Signs ofLocal Anesthetic Toxicity (Overdose)
• Early signs: dizziness, anxiety, confusion,
tachycardia, increased blood pressure
• Later signs: seizure activity, bradycardia, cardiac arrest
Self‐Study Questions
1. What is the maximum mg/kg and total dose of: (a) lidocaine, (b) mepivacaine, and (c) articaine?
2. What is the total amount of lidocaine that can be given to this child if he weighs 52 pounds?
3. What is an anatomical difference between children and adults with respect to administration of the inferior alveolar nerve block?
4. What is the mechanism of action of local
anesthetics?
5. What are the signs of local anesthetic toxicity?

Self‐Study Answers
1. The maximum mg/kg and total doses of commonly used local anesthetics in pediatric dentistry are: (a) lidocaine: 4.4 mg/kg (2 mg/lb), 300 mg total; (b)mepivacaine 4.4 mg/kg (2 mg/lb) 300 mg total; (c)articaine 7.0 mg/kg (3.2 mg/lb) 500 mg total
2. A 52‐pound child could receive a total of 104 mg of lidocaine
3. The mandibular foramen is lower than the occlusal plane in children, so the injection should be made lower and slightly more posterior in children

I. Diagnostic Tools
• Radiographs: bitewing radiographs show multiple interproximal carious lesions
J. Differential Diagnosis
• Not applicable
K. Diagnosis andProblem List
Diagnosis
• Dental caries
Problem List
• Poor oral hygiene and diet
• Moderate anxiety
BACKGROUND INFORMATION 1
Nitrous Oxide
• Colorless and virtually odorless
• Analgesic/anxiolytic agent
• Causes euphoria and slight central nervous system depression, without respiratory compromise
• Works on the gamma‐aminobutyric acid type A receptors
• Can increase sedative effect of other drugs (Litmanetal. 1998)
• Multiple interproximal cavities
• Caries risk assessment is high
L. Comprehensive treatment plan
• Complete nutritional counseling and oral hygiene instructions
• Restorative treatment
• Nitrous oxide/oxygen for treatment to address moderate anxiety (see Background Information 1). Obtain specific consent
• Prescribe high fluoride toothpaste
• Recall plan: three‐month recall due to high caries risk
Advantages
• Rapid onset and recovery time
• Ease of titration
• Few serious side‐effects
• Excellent safety record American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry [AAPD] 2018–2019a
Disadvantages
• Weak agent
• Potential for occupational hazards (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC] 2014; AAPD 2018–2019b)
• Depends on patient acceptance
• Patient must be able to breathe through nose and tolerate nasal hood (Figure6.3.2)
M. Prognosis andDiscussion
• This case has a good prognosis. However, the patient needs to modify diet and oral hygiene behavior in order to avoid future caries
• As the child is only displaying moderate anxiety, and has been cooperative previously, nitrous oxide/oxygen
Figure 6.3.2 Patient wearing properly adjusted nasal hood.
Potential for diffusion hypoxia: insufficient
• oxygenation at end of procedure may cause rapid release of nitrous oxide from blood stream into alveoli which could dilute concentration of oxygen in the lungs and lead to hypoxia. Headache and disorientation are early signs
should help him cooperate for his dental treatment (see Fundamental Points 1 and 2)
• Multiple visits may be necessary to complete the treatment plan
• Plan to capitalize on strong placebo effect to incrementally ween patient off nitrous oxide/oxygen with each visit as treatment progresses

BEHAVIOR GUIDANCE ANDMEDICAL EMERGENCIES
Indications andContraindications fortheuse ofNitrous Oxide/Oxygen (AAPD 2018–2019a)
Indications
• A moderately fearful, anxious, or obstreperous patient
• Patients with mild to moderate asthma
• A patient whose gag reflex interferes with dentalcare
• A patient for whom profound local anesthesia cannot be obtained
N. Common Complications andAlternative Treatment Plans
• Nausea and vomiting are the most common side effects of nitrous oxide. Typically caused by a large meal prior to treatment, longer treatment times, and high nitrous oxide concentrations or frequent fluctuations in levels
• Sickle cell trait is not a contraindication to the use of nitrous oxide. However, if the patient develops sickle
Contraindications
• Some chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases
• Current upper respiratory infections
• Recent middle ear disturbance/surgery
• Severe emotional disturbances or drug‐related dependencies
• First trimester of pregnancy
• Treatment with bleomycin sulfate (chemotherapy agent)
• Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency
• Cobalamin (vitamin B12) deficiency
cell disease, consultation with a physician would be recommended prior to use
• Nitrous oxide is indicated for use in patients with mild to moderate asthma since it can reduce anxiety and therefore may reduce the risk of an asthmatic episode
• If nitrous oxide/oxygen does not control the patient’s anxiety, then moderate sedation or general anesthesia may need to be considered

FUNDAMENTAL POINT 2
Technique ofAdministration
• Avoid a large meal prior to administration to reduce risk of nausea and vomiting
• Select proper size nasal hood
• Flow rate of 5 to 6 l/min of combined nitrous oxide and oxygen. Check fail‐safe valve which prevents ow if there is no oxygen (Rose and McLarney
2014) (Figure6.3.3)
• Administer 100% O2 for one to two minutes
• Begin titration of nitrous oxide increasing by 10% increments every three to four minutes
A
Do not exceed 50%
• Maintain proper scavenging to reduce ambient levels (CDC 2014; AAPD 2018–2019b)
• During treatment, visual monitoring of patient’s respiratory rate and level of consciousness
• Patient more compliant and open to suggestion
• Communicative techniques more effective with nitrous oxide/oxygen
• Once procedure is completed, 100% O

Self‐Study Answers
1. Reduce the concentration of nitrous oxide incrementally with each visit in order to ween the patient off as treatment progresses
2. The oxygen cylinder is empty. All nitrous oxideunits are equipped with an oxygen–nitrous oxide fail‐safe valve. This works to shut off the nitrous oxide when there is a loss of oxygen pressure
