Bulleen - Dental ED Study Club Invitation

The Safe and Effective Use of Local Anesthesia in the Pediatric Dental Patient

Pain and anxiety management are critical to the success of pediatric dental care. While local anesthetics are among the safest and most effective agents for preventing perioperative pain, younger, well-behaved patients are paradoxically at greater risk for complications—particularly drug overdose. Additionally, dental anxiety is common among children, further complicating treatment delivery.

This comprehensive program, presented by Dr. Stanley Malamed, focuses on the safe and effective use of both local anesthetics and sedation techniques in pediatric patients. It emphasizes prevention, recognition, and management of local anesthetic overdose, including a detailed review of maximum recommended doses (MRDs). Dr. Malamed will also explore sedation strategies, with an emphasis on oral sedation and nitrous oxide-oxygen (N₂O-O₂) inhalation, offering practical guidance for enhancing patient comfort while maintaining safety.

Learning Objectives:

• Compare the clinical attributes of currently available dental local anesthetic formulations.

• Define and apply the concept of maximum recommended dose (MRD) in pediatric patients.

• Identify the signs and symptoms of local anesthetic overdose.

• Recognize and manage local anesthetic overdose scenarios in clinical practice.

• Discuss the principles and protocols for safe sedation in pediatric dentistry, with an emphasis on oral and inhalation (N₂O-O₂) routes.
