2HEAVEN'S VERY SPECIAL CHILD
A meeting was held quite far from Earth:
“ It's time again for another birth.”
Said the Angels to the Lord Above,
“ This special child will need much love.”
Her progress may seem very slow,
Accomplishments she may not show
And she'll require extra care
From folks she meets way down there.
She may not run or laugh or play
Her thoughts may seem quite far away:
In many ways she isn't adapt
And she'll be known as handicapped.
So let's be careful where she's sent
We want her life to be content.
Please, Lord, find the parents who
Will do a special job for you.
They will not realize right away
The leading role they're asked to play
But with this child sent from above
Comes a stronger faith and richer love.
And soon they'll know the privilege given
In caring for the Gift from Heaven.
Their precious charge,
so meek and mild
Is Heaven's Very Special Child.

This book is a remarkable effort to initiate the general dentist into the topics of Special Care Dentistry and Pediatric Dentistry. It offers an introduction to the treatment of children with special needs and the medically compromised child.
The issues of mental and physical disability are presented with adequate detail and linked to their implications on designing and executing a dental treatment plan. The most common syndromes of the Head and Neck are presented in a concise way, providing all necessary information concerning oral manifestations and their management. An important chapter is dedicated to behavior management with sedation, using pharmaceutical substances and introduces to the use of nitrous oxide inhalation technique.
I believe that it is a very useful guide to the dentist with a special interest in Pediatric and Hospital Dentistry. It is also a handy reference guide to the Pediatric Dentist as well as to those working in a hospital environment. Using this book, one can refresh his Knowledge on the spot and gain self-confidence when treating challenging patients. I definitely recommend it.

11Foreword
I am very pleased to receive the most honorable invitation to write the foreword for the book “ Pediatric dentistry for special child”. Dental professionals delivering care to children with special needs know how hard, and also how rewarding, this task may be. The inherent difficulties of dental care are further complicated by the lack of physical and mainly human resources, which are usually insufficient for the demand.
This lack of specialized personnel highlights the relevance of this book, from both scientific and humanistic standpoints. Soon in the Table of Contents, the reader may have a hint on what comes next. The book is carefully divided into sections according to the type of special need, and each section is further subdivided to properly present the different challenges under the scope of “ special needs”. This is most convenient, as a didactic source of information, and mainly for dentists in clinical practice, who may easily find the information they need by searching the book, even in the consultation room as a chairside auxiliary tool.
However, from the humanistic standpoint, the book assumes its greater relevance. By achieving thorough, complete, reliable and accessible information about special needs, dental professionals may then feel empowered and keen to offer care for this needed population; and this, once begun, will never stop! The sensation of really doing a useful job, of helping someone in REAL need, and the attempts of communication of these children with their dentist – often through eye movements, hand signs, or even a weak but sincere smile – are the greatest reward for health professionals wishing to do their best for these little angels.
So now move on, start turning the pages, and dive deep into the amazing world of pediatric dentistry for the special child! Information and emotion are waiting for you on the following pages of this book – and of your professional life.

13Preface
Pediatric dentistry is a specialty dedicated to the oral health of children from infancy through the adolescence. The branch reserves a special place in the field of dentistry for both dental and medical anomalies. Treating children is not easy and it becomes more complex in case of special children. The concept of this book was perceived when I realized that there is no core book to understand this complicated yet interesting segment of pediatric dentistry. Lack of literature leaves students perplexed about the information required to treat special child. This benightedness has created a vacuum forcing the dental practitioners to run away from the situation and treating them as weary load thereby making extraneous referral to the hospital.
Consequently, these children are abnegated the rightfully desired treatment. Because of brobdingnagian scope and literature it is impossible to cover entire pediatric dentistry in one book. This book is my sincere effort to fill the void in the dental care of special children. Efforts have been made to cover most conditions which are not seen often in routine practice but are important from the perspective of special children.
The book is divided in eight sections. First section explains various aspects, i.e. needs, family environment, home care, finances, and mental status of child and family. The subsequent sections give detailed insight of all conditions of intellectual, physical, medical, genetic and emotional origin. The book sums up with the management of pediatric patients in hospital settings along with admission procedure and medico legal issues. A chapter on nitrous oxide inhalation sedation has been added to understand modern chair side anesthesia in dentistry.
I hope this book will prove as a stepping stone in the treatment of special children and you will not only enjoy this compilation, rather this book will provoke debate and discussion amongst you and your colleagues on how to treat special child the best.
