A model for a children's dental health carnival.

A children's dental health carnival can yield many benefits. Some of these are: The general public becomes better informed regarding the importance of dentistry for children; children are presented with preventive-dentistry information in an entertaining environment; and students gain experience in organizing and participating in a community service project. The Children's Dental Health Carnivals have provided the children of Lincoln, Nebraska and the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Dentistry with these benefits. The authors would be pleased to share additional information with interested parties.

Frequency of accidental intravascular injection of local anesthetics in children.

Blood was aspirated in 1.7 percent of the cases, 3.1 percent of inferior alveolar block cases, and 2.2 percent of the cases where infiltration was used for the maxillary molars. It was in children eight to ten years of age that 67.2 percent of the positive aspirations occurred, although that age-group composed only 44.5 percent of the sample.

Frequency of hematoma formation subsequent to injection of dental local anesthetics in children.

This study investigated the frequency of hematoma formation subsequent to injection of dental local anesthetics in 4,134 children, 3 to 13 years of age. Hematoma formation occurred following 0.1% of the injections, all being buccal infiltrations of maxillary molars. This represents a 0.4% incidence of hematoma formation subsequent to this injection. There was no age specificity in hematoma formation, occurring in one 5 year old, one 7 year old, one 8 year old, one 10 year old, and one 11 year old.
