Abstract

In recent years, the dental treatment of children under sedation and/or general anesthesia on an outpatient basis has been developed as a behavioral management model in pediatric dentistry. The objective of this study was to establish the percentage of pediatric patients who required deep sedation on an outpatient basis in dental offices in the city of Cuenca, Ecuador. An observational study was conducted with a sample of 450 records of school- and preschool-age patients, where the variables were type and time of treatment, age, and sex. Statistical data were analyzed using the statistical program SPSS V.27 (IBM, Armonk, NY, USA). The highest percentage of children who received sedation were of preschool age. In general, there were three types of procedures per session, the most frequent being restorations (67%), followed by pulp treatment (49.8%) and, less frequently, minor surgery. The need for sedation for dental procedures is high in preschool patients, and ambulatory sedation has contributed to meeting this need. However, a regulation for its use is required at a national level.

  • Contact of inhaled anti-asthmatic drugs with oral tissues promotes a greater risk of oral alterations, mainly due to decreases in salivary flow and pH.

    “and thus promoting a greater risk of oral alterations, mainly due to decreases in the salivary flow and pH.”

    From Drugs Prescribed for Asthma and Their Adverse Effects on Dental Health (2023) · cites this paper as [29]

    The Discussion addresses dental caries and sedation in children, but does not link inhaled anti-asthmatic drugs to oral alterations. Searches for anti-asthmatic inhalers, salivary flow, and salivary pH found no passage addressing the claimed mechanism in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.76)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
