Objective: In sight of this, we carried out a review about anesthesic techniques using the computerized anesthesia. This system has as main objective to reduce the discomfort caused by the traditional anesthesia, by controlling two important factors for the success of the local anesthesia: the pressure and the volume of anesthesic. Conclusion: The majority of the revised papers demonstrated that The Wand System is superior to the traditional anesthesia, when modified techniques are used.

Objetivo: Neste contexto realizou-se uma revisao de literatura sobre a utilizacao da anestesia computadorizada em odontopediatria. Este sistema anestesico tem como principal objetivo reduzir o desconforto causado pela anestesia, por meio do controle de dois fatores que influenciam no sucesso da anestesia local: a pressao e o volume do liquido anestesico. Conclusao: A maioria dos trabalhos revisados demonstrou que o sistema computadorizado The Wand® e superior a anestesia tradicional, quando as tecnicas modificadas sao utilizadas.

Study design: 500 children were recruited at birth. Research assessments including structured interviews, anthropometric measurements and dental examination were carried out after birth, at 6 months and at one-year of age. The primary outcome of this study was defined as the occurrence of one or more teething symptoms within the first year of life, as reported by the mother. Results: Teething symptoms were reported in 73% of the children analyzed (273/375). The symptoms most frequently reported were irritability (40.5%), fever (38.9%), diarrhoea (36.0%) and itching (33.6%). Dentists had little influence on the management of symptoms and self-medication to relieve them was a common practice. The risk of reporting teething symptoms was higher for children from nuclear families (p=0.040) and for children from families with higher income (p=0.040). Conclusio...

Papers concerning the use of CarisolvTM were sought using a search strategy. The titles and abstracts of all the reports identified through the search were analyzed by a single reviewer. The inclusion criterion involved: clinical trials having CarisolvTM in one of the study groups. Then, those that fulfilled the inclusion criterion underwent methodology assessment and data extraction. Only 12 papers met the inclusion criterion. It was observed that none of these studies complied with all the evaluated research methodological principles required in order to have power of evidence generation. CarisolvTM proved to be effective in caries removal. Appointment mean time was greater, but the perceived time was shorter than that using conventional techniques due to patients' perception of m...
