Relationships in Dental Practice:
Caring for Children in the Dental
Environment
Prof Richard Widmer, Pedodontics (Australia)
We all need to be as good as we can when
doing our restorative dentistry, however it
is even more important to be aware of the
physical, social and intellectual development
of a child and how this influences the
relationships in the dental surgery and
ultimately delivery of the best care possible.

Objectives: Oral sedation is a technique in
which the use of a drug or drugs produces
a state of depression on the central nervous
system enabling treatment to be carried
out, however during which verbal contact
with the patient is maintained.
Methods: Consent form should include
documentation and discussion of potential
risks, benefits and complications following
the procedure in addition to possibility of
failure and consequences of not providing
sedation/analgesia. Medical history should
include all current medications as well
as past dental history and experiences.
Patients classed as ASA I or II can be
treated with oral sedation. Anxiolysis,
sedation and muscle relaxation are the
clinical effect of Midazolam. Flumazenil
reverses sedation, respiratory depression,
paradoxical agitation, and causes cessation
of amnesia following its administration.
Results: The clinical use of Midazolam in
oral sedation will be presented and the
potential benefits will be discussed.
Conclusion: The use of Midazolam as oral
sedation in Paediatric Dentistry delivers
safe sedation to all uncooperative children.

Objectives: To present a rare case of failure
of eruption of primary central incisor
localized to the maxilla, in a four year old
girl.
Methods: Extra oral examination showed
no abnormal signs, asymmetry or
lymphadenopathy. Intra-oral examination
revealed a buccal bulge in the region of the
unerupted tooth which was asymptomatic.
Radiographic examination showed a small
single radio-opaque structure representing
the crown of the impacted deciduous
tooth. This was surrounded by dense
radio-opaque bone. Root formation was
incomplete at that time. The successor
tooth was present with wide radiolucent
pulp chamber. Neither odontomes, nor
supernumerary teeth were present.
Considering the age of the child, the
position of primary central incisor, and the
location and developmental stage of the
permanent central incisor, it was decided
to surgically remove the impacted tooth.
