TI  - Adverse Events in Pediatric Dentistry: An Exploratory Study.
PG  - 455-467
AB  - Purpose: Existing studies on adverse events (AEs) in pediatric dentistry have 
      been limited in scope. The purpose of this study was to develop a comprehensive 
      list of pediatric dental adverse events and assess their occurrences among 
      pediatric dentists. This study developed the first inventory of pediatric dental 
      adverse events. Methods: Over a three-month period, semistructured interviews 
      were conducted with domain expert pediatric dentists to develop a comprehensive 
      list of AEs occurring in pediatric dentistry. American Academy of Pediatric 
      Dentistry (AAPD) members were invited to complete a validated 15-item survey 
      about their experience with pediatric dental AEs. Data analysis was performed to 
      determine the percentage of pediatric dentists experiencing AEs. Results: A total 
      of 193 pediatric dental AEs were identified through interviews and surveys; 1,042 
      AAPD members completed the survey (response rate equals 16.3 percent). The most 
      common AEs experienced were post-treatment soft tissue trauma (86.1 percent), 
      nicking/damaging of adjacent teeth (52.0 percent), and intraoperative soft tissue 
      damage (47.1 percent). The least commonly experienced AEs were patients requiring 
      CPR (0.5 percent) and patients aspirating materials (0.4 percent). Conclusions: A 
      significant proportion of pediatric dentists experienced adverse events, and a 
      small but poignant number indicated that their patients faced moderate to severe 
      AEs.
