“…Trata-se de uma ocorrência rara, mas de alto impacto por acarretar danos físicos ao paciente 29 . Para que um incêndio inicie e se propague é necessária uma fonte contínua de calor ou de faíscas, um agente oxidante e um combustível (sólido ou gás capaz de queimar).…”

O objetivo deste estudo foi relatar quatro casos de crianças de 5 a 9 anos submetidas a procedimentos odontológicos cirúrgicos sob sedação inalatória com óxido nitroso e oxigênio. Após anamnese e avaliação clínica, verificou-se que as crianças eram saudáveis e que se beneficiam da sedação devido à extensão e potencial incômodo dos procedimentos cirúrgicos. Em apenas um caso, havia relato de problema de manejo de comportamento em atendimento anterior. A concentração máxima de óxido nitroso usada foi 50%, misturada à mesma concentração de oxigênio. Em 3 dos 4 casos, as crianças relataram se sentir bem e relaxadas durante a sedação e os cuidadores ficaram satisfeitos. Em um caso, houve necessidade de interrupção da sedação devido a mal-estar relatado pela criança. Não foram observados eventos adversos sérios. A sedação foi uma boa estratégia para o manejo do comportamento e maior conforto da criança durante o procedimento odontológico cirúrgico.

“…A fire could potentially occur while a patient undergoes dental treatment. Although such incidents are rare in dentistry, they are plausible [19]. A 72-year-old woman sustained second-degree facial burns from a fire near the nasal hood, delivering a nitrous oxide-oxygen mixture, likely ignited by heat generated during the preparation of a titanium post using a high-speed, irrigated carbide bur.…”

“…Sparks originating from burs, lasers, and electrosurgical units can also act as ignition sources [19]. Various combustible agents, such as dry gauze, throat packs, paper and cotton products, hair, petroleum-based lubricants, alcoholbased products, rubber dams, and nitrous masks, can serve as fuel [19]. The administration of oxidizers such as nitrous oxide or oxygen can generate an atmosphere enriched with oxidizers (OEA).…”

This review aims to examine safety concerns in pediatric dental care and underscore the need for comprehensive patient safety initiatives within the Korean Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. Drawing insights from the prevailing patient safety policies of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, case reports, and systematic reviews, this review elucidates issues such as dental fires during sedation, ocular complications from local anesthesia, and surgical emphysema. This review highlights the significance of safety toolkits encompassing infection control, medical error reduction, dental unit waterline infection, and nitrous oxide safety in pediatric dental settings, underscoring the need to foster a safety culture. Furthermore, this study explores the curriculum for pediatric dentistry residency programs, emphasizing concepts such as high-reliability organizations and mortality and morbidity conferences. The study suggests the need for initiatives to enhance patient safety, including establishing safety committees, expanding reporting systems, policy development, and supporting research related to patient safety. In conclusion, this study underlines key messages, emphasizing the utmost priority of patient safety, acknowledging the inevitability of human error, promoting effective communication, and cultivating a patient safety culture. These principles are vital for advancing patient safety in pediatric dental care and improving outcomes among pediatric patients.
