The influence of sevofluran, in the dose of produced saliva and at the periodontal status, at pediatric patients

Abstract

Purpose: Under the analysis of the characteristics of general anesthetics and via side effects, the goal of the study is to assess the impact of the sevofluran in the dose of produced saliva. This changing is considering in connection with the change in status of gingival health of pediatric patients, before and after the surgical procedure.

Materials and methods: The study was applied in 28 gingival status measurement and assessment to 14 patients that received treatment, without limitation an age, who underwent surgical treatment protocol. The selection of children was conducted on basis of the kind of general anesthetic used and applied in full agreement with the parents.

Results: Difference in ml for 5 minutes, between the mean values, is 0.36ml. Expressed in datas, the growing is by double of the normal production value per minute. From the table, it appears that 57% of patients including in the study, are in terms of quantity of produced saliva. 36% of children suffer from hipersalivacion and 7% suffer from hiposalivacion. About around 25% of children involved with in the study, suffered from periodontal illnesses. Patients were classified according to their change of values ​​by three degrees.

Conclusion: The general anesthetic sevofluran influences on increasing the volumes of produced saliva. Applying sefovluran affect the aggravation of periodontal status at gingival margo and at fixed gingiva.
