Why would a band and loop be indicated over a lower lingual holding arch (LLHA) for maintenance of space where #S was extracted?
19, #30, and anterior incisors must be erupted to do LLHA
What is the primary dentition occlusal scheme where the terminal plane of the mandibular primary second molar is mesial to the maxillary primary second molar terminal plane?
Mesial step, will normally go Class I or Class III permanent occlusion

Class I molar (will have permanent molars in)
2mm anterior and posterior overjet
2mm anterior overbite

ADHD
What percentage of pulpotomies fail?
15%
what occlusal scheme do you look at once the first permanent molars are in?
Angle class
What space maintenance is indicated when #A (maxillary primary 2nd molar) extracted and #3 and #14 are in?
Nance or TPA
Do kids have a higher or lower drug requirement than adults and why?
Higher due to greater volume of distribution
What is a consideration as far as drug metabolism for children?
They have lower concentration of liver enzymes
What makes a sedation more challenging on a child?
Airway
What are 3 differences of pediatric airway?
- Larynx more anterior
- Vocal cords have anterior slant
- Epiglottis is stiff
Are children small adults?
No
What does the high surface area to weight ratio mean for a child?
They lose heat more easily
Why do children desaturate faster than adults?
Smaller thorax has less expansive capacity, therefore have less functional reserve
What produces a minimally depressed state of consciousness but pt is still able to maintain patent airway independently and continuosly. Able to respond appropriately to physical stimulation and verbal commands
Sedation
Does sedation make an uncooperative child cooperative?
No
What are the goals of sedation?
Quality care Minimize disruptive behavior Positive psychological response Patient welfare and safety Physiologic state w/ safe discharge
What is the anxiolytic level of sedation where pt can respond normally to verbal commands with possible cognitive function and coordination impairment, but ventilation and cardio is unaffected?
Minimal sedation
What is the term for conscious sedation of drug induced depression of consciousness where pts respond purposefully to verbal commands, can expect age-appropriate behavior in conscious sedated child, e.g. crying?
Moderate sedation
What is the term for drug induced depression of consciousness where pt cannot easily be aroused, but responds purposefully after repeated verbal/painful stimuli. Ventilatory function may be impaired?
Deep sedation
What is the drug-induced loss of consciousness during which pt is not arousable even by painful stimuli, cannot maintain ventilator function?
General anesthesia
If doing sedation, what level of sedation should you be prepared for you?
Deeper level than intended
What are 5 routes of drug administration?
- Oral
- Rectal
- Intramuscular
- Inhalational
- IV
What is a major disadvantage of the oral route for sedation?
Cannot titrate dose once given, so deal with the level you get
Child with pharyngeal space that occupies more than 50% (Brodsky III or IV?) is at increased risk of what during sedation?
Respiratory obstruction
What are 3 things children are more susceptible to with respect to cardiovascular function and sedation?
- Bradycardia

I
What is the Brodsky class where tonsils occlude pharyngeal space 25-50%?
II
What is the Brodsky class where tonsils occlude pharyngeal space 50-75%?

Should a patient expect to get a sedation on their first appointment?
No. First will be consult. 2nd will be the sedation.
Would a patient with extensive operative needs be a good candidate for sedation and why?
No. Length of treatment might exceed time of sedation effects. Pt better served via General Anesthesia (GA)
