32. Our Bodies Change Over Time
• There are anatomic
differences between
infants, children, and
adults
• Body systems
continue to develop
and mature in the
young
• Aging body systems
show signs of
dysfunction

42. Blood pressure is the
force of blood pushing
against the arteries.
Blood is carried to all
parts of your body in
vessels called arteries.
What Is Blood Pressure?

arterial and venous
pressures.
Each cm of distance
produces a 0.77 mmHg

50. MEASURING BLOOD PRESSURE
TURBULENT FLOW
1. Cuff pressure > systolic blood pressure--No sound.
2. The first sound is heard at peak systolic pressure.
3. Sounds are heard while cuff pressure < blood pressure.
4. Sound disappears when cuff pressure < diastolic pressure.

shoulders, arms, and neck, owing to an
inadequate blood supply to the heart.”

insufficiency)
Prevention includes stress reduction,
reassurance & psychosedation.

119. MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
DEFINITION- “A clinical syndrome
caused by deficient coronary arterial blood
supply resulting in ischemia to a region of
the myocardium and causing cellular death
and necrosis.”
DDSEmergencies
dr-moradian.ir
121
125. MI: Management
Avoid overstressing the patient
O2 via nasal cannula or nasal hood
Pain control during therapy – appropriate use of
LA– smaller dose with maximum effect – slow
administration
Psychosedation – N2O – O2 is preferable
It is strongly recommended that elective dental
care is avoided until at least 6months after MI
Inferior alveolar NB and Posterior superior
alveolar NB –risk of hemorrhage – should be
avoided

131. OVERDOSE REACTIONS
In a dental practice, commonest overdosage:
LA
High blood levels of the drug may be due to
repeated injections or from a single inadvertent
iv administration.
Predisposing factors for over dosage:
Pt age/body wt
Route of administration
Presence of vasoconstrictor
Type of local anesthetic
DDSEmergencies
dr-moradian.ir
133
132. Local Anesthetic
Classified as amide (e.g. lidocaine,
articaine, mepivacaine) or ester (e.g.
tetracaine, procaine)
In dentistry, the most commonly
used LA is lidocaine (also called
xylocaine or lignocaine)
Topical anesthetic benzocaine is an
ester
DDSEmergencies
dr-moradian.ir
134
133. Local Anesthetic
Maximum dose of lidocaine
(plain, without vasoconstrictor) is
4.5 mg/kg (not to exceed 300 mg)
The maximum safe dosage of LA
is generally increased when used in
combination with a
vasoconstricting agent
DDSEmergencies

134. Recommended maximum doses of LA
Drug Max. Dose Max. No. of
cartridges
(1.8ml)

increased when using in combination with
narcotics

139
138. Vasoconstrictor (Epi.) in LA
Epinephrine: (Max dose:200 µg)

of contraction and myocardial oxygen consumption
ß2 receptors: vasodilating blood vessels in the
skeletal muscle
Levonordefrin (Max.dose1000 µg)
1:20,000 (equivalent to 1:100,000 epi)
Contraindicated for patients receiving tricyclic
antidepressants
DDSEmergencies
dr-moradian.ir
140
139. Treatment modifications if there is
concerns regarding vasoconstrictors
Minimize administration
limiting epinephrine to 40 µg,
levonordefrin to 200 µg
Avoid epinephrine 1:50,000
Monitor blood pressure and heart rate 5
min after injection

141
1 cartridge of epinephrine 1:200,000 = 9 µg
1 cartridge of epinephrine 1:100,000 = 18 µg
1 cartridge of epinephrine 1:50,000 = 36 µg
1 cartridge of levonordefrin 1:20,000 = 90 µg
140. ALLERGY

exposure to a particular allergen,
reexposure to which produces a
heightened emergent capacity to react”
