A. Presenting Patient
Four‐year‐, 11‐month‐old Caucasian male (Figure8.5.1)
B. Chief Complaint
• New patient referred by pediatric gastroenterology for dental assessment and treatment
• Mother noted decayed teeth but no symptoms
• Mother states that teeth have always been somewhat discolored but she is not concerned
MEdiCAlly CoMPRoMisEd PATiEnTs
• The dental professional needs to know if the child’s liver transplant is functioning well prior to commencing a course of dental treatment. The liver is a complex organ with many impor­tant functions, including the synthesis of albumin and the synthesis of blood clotting proteins. The prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, and international normalized ratio are blood tests that may be used as a guide to assess the ability of the liver to synthesize clotting factors. Each laboratory has its own set of reference ranges for children of different ages
• The functioning of the liver transplant includ­ing the results of such a coagulation prole should be discussed with the child’s physician before commencing a course of dental treat­ment. Hypersplenism with sequestration of platelets may occur in association with liver failure but this should resolve following liver transplantation when there should be a normal platelet count
• It is also important to remember that live vaccines are contraindicated in patients with solid organ transplants because of concerns of disseminated infection associated with immuno­suppressive therapy
C. Social History
• Lives at home with six‐year‐old sibling and parents
• Middle class family
D. Medical History
• Biliary atresia, liver transplant at 13 months of age (see Fundamental Point 1)
• Medications: tacrolimus 0.8 mg twice daily and prednisolone 1 mg daily
• Frequent hospitalizations and hospital visits since birth for management of biliary atresia and liver transplant
• Allergic to eggs and nuts, no known drug allergies

Some Important Functions oftheLiver
• Metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins
• Metabolism of drugs (detoxification) prior to excretion
• Synthesis of plasma protein (albumin) and clotting factors
• Storage organ for glycogen, vitamin B12, and iron
• Involved in breakdown of hemoglobin; heme is degraded to biliverdin which is converted into bilirubin that combines with glucuronic acid to become water soluble conjugated bilirubin that is added to bile
Most Common Indications forPediatric Liver Transplantation
• Chronic liver disease Biliary atresia (most common reason for pediatric liver transplantation) Alpha‐1 antitrypsin deficiency Autoimmune hepatitis
• Metabolic liver disease with extrahepatic
complications
Crigler–Najjar syndrome Urea cycle disorders and organic acidemias
• Acute liver failure
• Hepatic tumors

Diagnosis andProblem List
Diagnosis
• Biliary atresia
• Early childhood caries
• Possible enamel hypomineralization and/or hypoplasia
of mandibular right primary second molars with posteruptive breakdown and caries
• Erosion of palatal surfaces of maxillary anterior teeth
• Intrinsic staining of teeth due to incorporation of
unconjugated bile pigments in calcifying dental tissues
Problem List
• Liver transplant
• High caries risk due to:
Use of juice in a bottle until four years of age Hospitalization as infant and young child due to biliary atresia Need for daily ingestion of medications Possible enamel hypomineralization/hypoplasia of mandibular primary second molars Special health care needs No dental home Untreated caries
• Decreased metabolism (detoxication) of many drugs including lidocaine but dental local anesthetic agents are generally well tolerated in children with mild to moderate liver disease: administer adequate dose of local anesthetic to achieve profound analge­sia but do not exceed the maximum recommended dose of local anesthetic in relation to a child’s weight
Decreased metabolism (detoxication) of general
• anesthetic and sedative agents: except for nitrous oxide/oxygen analgesia/anxiolysis, the use of sedation or general anesthesia should be restricted to specialist hospital units
• Decreased production of vitamin‐K‐dependent blood clotting factors (II, VII, IX, X): increased potential for postextraction bleeding
• Enlargement of spleen may cause platelet seques­tration with associated low platelet count: increased potential for postextraction bleeding
Local measures to control postextraction bleeding
include the use of oxidized regenerated cellulose (Surgicel or Gelfoam) and the use of resorbable sutures
• Hematology consult if platelet count <50 000/mm3 and/or if abnormalities in coagulation prole
Varices (enlarged blood vessels) at base of esopha-
• gus due to obstruction of blood ow to diseased liver: chronic gastrointestinal hemorrhage may result in anemia
• Greenish discoloration of teeth due to incorpora­tion of bile pigments during period of calcication of teeth
• Do not use nonsteroidal anti‐inammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin or ibuprofen, for analge­sia because they increase the risk of gastrointesti­nal bleeding
• Prescribe acetaminophen for analgesia with cau­tion, adhering to recommended therapeutic dos­ages–hepatotoxicity is dose‐related so avoid high doses in children with liver impairment

• Immunosuppressant therapy to prevent rejection of liver transplant
• Significant dental treatment required in a four‐year‐ old with history of extensive medical intervention since birth
L. Comprehensive Treatment Plan
• Establishment of a caries prevention plan as well as a dental home
• Comprehensive dental treatment under general anesthesia (see Fundamental Point 2)
Intravenous administration of hydrocortisone 25 mg at time of induction because of long‐term steroid use
• Stainless steel crown restoration of mandibular rightprimary second molars following caries removal
• High‐strength glass ionomer or composite resin restorations of occlusal lesions in both maxillary primary second molars and mandibular primary first molars
• Postoperative pain relief with acetaminophen 500 mg as a suppository and intraoral buccal infiltration of
0.5 ml 2% lidocaine with epinephrine
Follow‐up Care
• Postoperative and home care instructions
• Establishment of a frequent recall schedule
M. Prognosis andDiscussion
• Good prognosis if the following aggressive preventive plan is established and consistent home and profes­sional dental care is provided:
Three‐month dental recall visits Fluoride varnish application at each recall visit Fissure sealant application to the permanent first molars when erupted sufficiently to allow isolation for moisture control Promotion of twice daily toothbrushing with fluoride toothpaste Restriction in the frequency of ingestion of sugary drinks/juices and sugary snack foods
N. Common Complications andAlternative Treatment Plans
• Extensively decayed mandibular right second primary molar:
Vital pulpotomy and stainless steel crown if pulp exposure Extraction of tooth if nonvital with infection and subsequent space management/maintenance when permanent first molar erupts
• Distal shoe appliance relatively contraindicated in view of immunosuppression
• Long‐term complications of steroid and immunosup­pression agents with dental implications: gingival overgrowth, high blood pressure, osteoporosis

• Caries prevention: educate child and caretakers on
https://t.me/medicina_free
the importance of optimal oral care at time of transplantation and afterwards
• Treat/stabilize active dental decay so that the teeth will not be a potential source of infection at the time of transplantation and for the following three to six months
• Extract extensively decayed teeth and teeth with pulp or potential pulp pathology
• Consult the pediatric gastroenterology team: seek advice on coagulation status and ensure a platelet count of >50 000/mm3 before extract­ing teeth
• Regular dental visits for preventive and ongoing care following transplant
• Be aware of potential immunosuppression issues
• Scrupulous crossinfection control measures
• Decreased immunosurveillance
MEdiCAlly CoMPRoMisEd PATiEnTs
Increased risk of lymphomas (non‐Hodgkin lymphomas or post‐transplant lymphoprolifera­tive disease) Increased risk of skin cancer: reinforce safety in sun and the use of sunscreen with high sun protection factor
• Cyclosporine with or without the antihypertensive drug nifedipine may cause gingival hyperplasia and delayed eruption of teeth
• Consider tacrolimus as an alternative to cyclo­sporine as it does not typically induce gingival hyperplasia
• Caution with use of NSAIDs for analgesia because these may increase the nephrotoxicity of cyclo­sporine and tacrolimus
• Glucocorticoids may be used in low dosage as immunosuppressant: additional dosage not usually required for dental treatment unless treatment provided under general anesthesia
• Azathioprine and mycophenolate mofetil are other immunosuppressant drugs that may be used following solid organ transplantation. They have no signicant oral or dental side effects

CHAPTER 8

• Type 1 diabetes (insulin‐dependent diabetes mellitus) is an autoimmune condition occurring when a person’s pancreatic beta cells are destroyed and the body stops making insulin. Insulin is required for glucose to pass from the bloodstream into the cells and regulate the body’s blood glucose level. Over time, hyperglycemia leads to damage to many body systems, particularly the vascular and nervous systems. If not well controlled, diabetes can cause vision loss, renal failure, and lead to lower limb amputation and other consequences that impact signicantly on quality of life
• There is wide global variation in incidence and prevalence, from 0.5 to 60 new cases per 100 000 children aged under 15 years. Onset of type 1 diabetes is usually rapid, and symptoms include: increased excretion of urine (polyuria), increased thirst (polydipsia), constant hunger, weight loss, vision changes, and fatigue
• Early diagnosis is possible with inexpensive testing of blood sugar
• Normal fasting blood glucose level in a healthy individual should be 4.0–7.0 mmol/l. Random plasma glucose testing is useful in diagnosis of type 1 diabetes, when time is of the essence. Arandom plasma glucose level of 11.1 mmol/L or more, or a fasting level of 7.0 mmol/l or more, is indicative of diabetes. The glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C or A1C) test is a measure of blood glucose control over the preceding two to three months. It measures glycosylation of hemoglobin. The American Diabetes Association suggests an A1C of 7% or above is considered diabetes
• People with type 1 diabetes monitor blood glucose several times per day and constantly and carefully balance their diet, exercise, and other activities with their insulin intake to maintain appropriate blood glucose levels. Insulin is administered usually by injection or by a pump. There are several types of insulin in use: rapid‐acting, short‐acting, intermediate‐ acting, long‐acting, and pre‐mixed. Each patient will have a tailored insulin regime that is specific to his/her situation

• Even with careful monitoring and a strict regime, many people with type 1 diabetes can have blood glucose levels which are difficult to control. This can lead to dangerously high (hyperglycemia) or low (hypoglycemia) blood sugar levels. In extreme cases, this can be life‐threatening
• Causes of hypoglycemia include:
Excess insulin Exercise Delayed/skipped meal Excess oral hypoglycemics Alcohol consumption Stress
• When blood glucose falls to <4 mmol/l, a “hypo” is experienced. Mild hypoglycemia symptoms include: sweating, dizziness, trembling, tingling (hands, feet, lips, and tongue), blurred vision, difficulty concentrating/tiredness, and hunger. Moderate hypoglycemia signs include: odd behavior, rudeness/ spontaneous laughter, appearing drunk, bad‐ tempered, aggressive or confused, uncooperative and refusing to treat low blood sugar. Severe hypoglycemia results in loss of consciousness.
• Treatment of hypoglycemia is best performed early, and if carried out appropriately, should be effective within two to four minutes. As the patient becomes more irritable and confused, administration of glucose may become more difficult. Glucose intake can be in the form of a sugary drink (juice/soda), a

J. Differential Diagnosis
• Hypomineralized second primary molars possibly a contributory factor, but pattern of breakdown is consistent with diagnosis of severe early childhood caries caused by ad lib breastfeeding
K. Diagnosis andProblem List
Diagnosis
• Severe early childhood caries complicated by localized odontogenic infection on a background of type 1 diabetes
glucose lozenge/candy, as a prepackaged gel, or even in the form of squeezable cake icing. Once the initial recovery is established, a more complex form of carbohydrate (bread, biscuit, banana) should be given
• Prolonged hyperglycemia results in diabetic ketoaci­dosis. This is a serious emergency associated with significant morbidity and mortality. If suspected of having ketoacidosis, the patient should be advised to contact the diabetic team immediately. Diabetic ketoacidosis tends to develop over a long period of time, and may be caused by:
Illness/infection (including a dental infection which can cause a serious increase in blood sugar) Inadequate insulin Stress Hormonal changes (pregnancy/menstruation, testosterone, and growth hormone) Steroid therapy
• Symptoms include:
Thirst (this can be extreme) Tiredness/lethargy/drowsiness Xerostomia Excessive urination (with high urine glucose levels) Reduced resistance to infection
• The treatment for diabetic ketoacidosis is fast‐act­ing insulin by a trained provider. A diagnosis of ketoacidosis must be absolutely certain: there can be catastrophic results of incorrectly administering insulin to a patient with hypoglycemia

Problem List
• Pain
• Chronic infection in immune compromised host with high risk for spreading infection
• Risk for poor diabetic control due to presence of infection
• Limited language skills of mother, who is the primary caregiver
• Limited parental understanding of link between oral health and systemic health
• Poor oral hygiene practices and feeding practices
• Poor cooperation
• Potential risk for hypoglycemia due to prolonged fasting for general anesthesia or reduction of oral intake postoperatively (see Background Information 2)
L. Comprehensive Treatment Plan
• Engage the services of a professional translator to ensure advice, education, risks, benefits, and treatment options can be adequately understood by the mother. If possible, invite the father to also attend appointments
• Enable parents to seek urgent treatment of spreading infection should it develop, by educating them on signs (fever, swelling, malaise) and establishing either the hospital service or the community service as the provider for this care if needed. Treat spreading infection aggressively with high dose antibiotics
• Clarify the dental home provider
• Create a caries preventive plan:
Commence twice daily supervised brushing with fluoridated (>1000 ppm) toothpaste Application of 22 500 ppm fluoride varnish to entire dentition every three months Ensure that sweetened foods are given only as indicated by blood glucose requirements and not as discretionary foods Using a motivational interviewing approach, educate parents regarding the oral health risks of night time ad lib breastfeeding
• Urgent comprehensive restorative and surgical care under general anesthesia in collaboration with medi­cal colleagues, if possible, to minimize the need for repeat general anesthesia (see Fundamental Point 1)
• Follow‐up care:
Soft diet for up to 48 hours Acetaminophen for 48 hours +/‐ ibuprofen for 48hours if needed
Toothbrushing to recommence after 24 hours Recall plan: at three months and plan follow‐up care with dental home provider
• Consider orthodontic evaluation to address space loss concerns once caries disease process is managed. Space maintenance is neither indicated nor feasible at this point
M. Prognosis andDiscussion
• Prognosis for treatment of infection is good, in that removal of the source of the infection (i.e. the
resolution of infection without the need for systemic antibiotic therapy
• Prognosis for carious teeth treated with full coronal coverage is good due to high success rate of pre­formed metal crowns.
• Prognosis for good oral health is guarded since diabetes can predispose the patient to xerostomia, thus elevating caries risk, and can result in delayed wound healing and oral candidiasis
• Prognosis for limiting caries disease progression is guarded due to limited parental understanding of the impact of dietary and oral hygiene practices on oral health and disease. This is complicated by the lan­guage barrier and the social isolation experienced by the child’s mother living in a foreign country, caring for small children
N. Common Complications andAlternative Treatment Plans
• Consider attempting emergency extraction with nitrous oxide sedation if child is adequately coopera­tive using this technique
• Caries control: if comprehensive care under general anesthesia cannot be provided soon, apply silver diamine fluoride to teeth with active caries but without pulpal involvement
In severely decayed teeth consider extraction versus
• indirect pulp therapy/pulpotomy and crown
• Although not common in children, individuals with diabetes are more susceptible to periodontal disease, and poor periodontal health may affect blood glucose control. Individuals with diabetes should be encouraged to practice meticulous home oral care, and to see their dental profes­sional very regularly
