Abstract
Objective To assess the impact of dental caries and treatment under general anaesthetic (GA) on the everyday lives of children and their families, using child-reported measures of quality of life (QoL) and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL).
Method Participants, aged 5–16 years old having treatment for dental caries under GA, were recruited from new patient clinics at Charles Clifford Dental Hospital, Sheffield. OHRQoL was measured before and 3-months after treatment using the Caries Impacts and Experiences Questionnaire for Children (CARIES-QC). Overall QoL was measured using the Child Health Utility 9D (CHU9D). Parents/caregivers completed the Family Impact Scale (FIS).
Results Eighty five parent–child dyads completed the study. There was statistically significant improvement in OHRQoL (mean interval score difference in CARIES-QC = 4.43, p < 0.001) and QoL (mean score difference in CHU9D = 2.48, p < 0.001) following treatment, with moderate to large effect sizes. There was statistically significant improvement in FIS scores (mean score difference = 5.48, p = 0.03). Conclusions Treatment under GA was associated with improvement in QoL and OHRQoL as reported by children, and reduced impacts on the family. This work highlights the importance of GA services in reducing the caries-related impacts experienced by children. Further work is needed investigate the impact of clinical, environmental and individual factors.

Abstract
AIM This qualitative study sought to obtain children's accounts of having dental extractions under general anaesthesia (GA). The aim was to gain greater understanding of the physical and psychological impacts from a child's perspective. METHOD Ten children, aged 6-11 years, maintained a video diary to document their feelings and experiences before, and following their hospital admission. Two semi-structured home interviews supplemented the video diary data and analysis was guided by narrative approaches. RESULTS This research revealed new insights into children's experiences of having teeth removed under GA. Several of the post-operative impacts correlated with those previously reported by parents/carers. These were notably nausea, bleeding and tiredness, although children used different terminology. However, additional physical and psychological outcomes, both positive and negative, emerged from the children's narratives. Negative aspects included hunger, disturbed eating, being scared/worried and experiencing discomfort from the IV cannula. Interestingly, pain was not a strong theme. Positive outcomes were also reported, such as satisfaction with the resolution of their dental problem and receipt of rewards and attention from family members. CONCLUSION These accounts have implications for improving patient experiences and outcomes throughout the dental GA care pathway. A review of pre-operative fasting protocols should be a priority.

Abstract
AIM To explore children's experiences of having teeth extracted under general anaesthetic, with a focus on opportunities to participate in their care pathway. STUDY DESIGN Qualitative study where analysis was informed by a narrative approach. METHODS Ten fit and healthy children, aged 6-11 years, who required multiple dental extractions under general anaesthesia at a UK Children's Hospital, participated in the study. Participants were invited to keep a video diary of their thoughts and experiences leading up to, and following, their hospital admission. Data collection was supported by two semi-structured home interviews. RESULTS Three themes emerged relating to participation: (i) children's prior knowledge and expectations of the dental general anaesthetic (DGA); (ii) their role in decision-making about the DGA and (iii) opportunities identified by children to actively participate in their care pathway. Children's feedback suggested that they did not feel fully informed or involved in decisions about the procedure and were upset about not being able to keep their extracted teeth. CONCLUSIONS Child-centred resources and decision-aids may be helpful in providing greater opportunities for children to participate in their DGA pathway. However, considerable challenges lie in engaging children without increasing pre-DGA anxiety or conflicting with parents' views about what is best for their child.

Abstract
The Hall technique, a novel method of placing preformed metal crowns (PMCs) without local anaesthesia or tooth preparation, was introduced to our undergraduate dental curriculum in 2009. This study aimed to describe student experience of, and attitudes towards, PMCs before and after exposure to this new technique. Clinical data were extracted from student logbooks to determine the number of PMCs placed for cohorts graduating in 2005 (n = 55), 2009 (n = 61) and 2010 (n = 75). Five focus groups were also conducted with 29 final-year dental students. Students graduating in 2005, 2009 and 2010 had placed a mean (range) of 0.03 (0-1), 0.63 (0-5) and 1.15 (0-9) PMCs, respectively. The proportion of students who had placed a PMC increased significantly from only 1.9% in 2005 to 75% in 2010 (P < 0.05, ANOVA). Students reported some positive experiences of the Hall technique. However, concern over perceived lack of future clinical support, an anticipated increase in time and financial pressures, and the ease of use of glass-ionomer cement as an alternative were described as potential barriers to PMC use. Findings suggest that the introduction of the Hall technique has had a marked impact on the use of PMCs as a treatment modality for carious primary teeth.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the use of intranasal midazolam in paediatric dental patients requiring extractions or simple surgical procedures who may otherwise have required a general anaesthetic. Twenty children aged between 2-9 years who required simple surgical procedures were given 0.25 mg.kg(-1) midazolam, administered using a MAD (Mucosal Atomization Device; Wolfe Tory Medical Inc., Salt Lake City, UT, USA). Compliance with the full dose was achieved in 14 patients, 13 of whom completed the treatment. One of two patients who allowed only partial administration completed the treatment and three patients did not comply. The mean time to starting treatment was 13 min (range 6-25 min) and patients were discharged after a mean of 46 min (range 25-67 min). Physiological parameters remained stable throughout with no clinically significant episodes of desaturation. One patient vomited at home postoperatively. Midazolam in a dose of 0.25 mg.kg(-1) administered intranasally provided adequate anxiolysis for the majority of children, allowing them to complete their treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To report on both the use and dosage of propofol, as a new intravenous (IV) conscious sedative agent, for anxious children referred to a specialist paediatric dentistry service. SETTING Paediatric Dentistry Unit, Glasgow Dental Hospital and School. SAMPLE Thirty-four children, 25 females and 9 males, mean age 12 years 10 months, with a mean weight of 54.6 kg (range 30-110 kg). METHODS Report from 34 patients receiving intravenous sedation for the first time in respect of weight dose and amount of treatment completed. RESULTS Thirty-two children successfully accepted operative dental care on their first visit, they received a mean total dose of 146.25 mg of propofol (range 10 mg to 356 mg); in relation to body weight, the mean was 2.5 mg/kg (range 0.2-5.4 mg/kg). The treatment that they received included fissure sealants, amalgam and adhesive restorations, root canal therapy and single and multiple extractions. Their sedation and recovery were uneventful. CONCLUSIONS Sub-anaesthetic doses of propofol used for IV conscious sedation infusion facilitated operative dental treatment in anxious children.

Abstract
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) HLA region on chromosome 6p21 contains the major locus of type 1 diabetes (IDDM1). Common allelic variants at the class II HLA-DRB1, -DQA1, and -DQB1 loci account for the major part of IDDM1. Previous studies suggested that other MHC loci are likely to contribute to IDDM1, but determination of their relative contributions and identities is difficult because of strong linkage disequilibrium between MHC loci. One prime candidate is the polymorphic HLA-DPB1 locus, which (with the DPA1 locus) encodes the third class II antigen-presenting molecule. However, the results obtained in previous studies appear to be contradictory. Therefore, we have analyzed 408 white European families (200 from Sardinia and 208 from the U.K.) using a combination of association tests designed to directly compare the effect of DPB1 variation on the relative predisposition of DR-DQ haplotypes, taking into account linkage disequilibrium between DPB1 and the DRB1, DQA1, and DQB1 loci. In these populations, the overall contribution of DPB1 to IDDM1 is small. The main component of the DPB1 contribution to IDDM1 in these populations appears to be the protection associated with DPB1*0402 on DR4-negative haplotypes. We suggest that the HLA-DP molecule itself contributes to IDDM1.
