A seven-day dietary analysis of 59 students in the dental health profession indicated that their nutrient consumption was generally adequate. A dental health examination indicated excellent oral hygiene. Nevertheless, many students were deficient in specific nutrient categories. Results suggested that computerized nutritional analysis techniques have general applicability in dental practice and epidemiological testing.
Since the use of narcotics was initially advocated 28 years ago, serious adverse reactions, including fatalities, have been reported. At least four factors appear to contribute to these reactions: multiple drug administration, excessive dosage, inadequate monitoring, and ineffectual emergency care. Because of the relatively high incidence of life-threatening reactions and the complexity of the required emergency care, the routine use of pediatric sedation techniques that require large doses of narcotics cannot be advocated for use in the private office.
