  • Title: Medical complications following successful pediatric dental treatment.
    Author: Schulman NJ, Owens B.
    Journal: J Clin Pediatr Dent; 1996; 20(4):273-5. PubMed ID: 9151618.
    Abstract:
    Dental treatment is usually performed without any development of medical sequela. However, patients can acquire serious, life threatening complications, even though successful dental treatment is completed. This paper presents four case reports of medical complications following routine pediatric dental treatment. The cases include: Ludwig's angina, endocarditis, brain abscess, and anesthetic toxicity. Many of the medical complications were caused by pre-existing conditions and were not necessarily direct result of dental treatment. Although medical complications following dental treatment cause grave concern, the dental practitioner can learn much from these occurrences.
