    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Medical Genetics

    Background:

    • Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a pharmacogenetic disorder of skeletal muscle.
    • It can be triggered by volatile anesthetics and succinylcholine.

    Observation:

    • This article describes MH, focusing on early clinical symptoms and definitive treatment.
    • Two pediatric dental cases highlight clinical/laboratory features and therapy.

    Findings:

    • Early recognition of MH symptoms is vital for prompt intervention.
    • Specific anesthetic agents can precipitate MH crises.

    Implications:

    • Dentists must be aware of MH risks associated with anesthesia.
    • Preparedness for MH emergencies improves patient outcomes in dental settings.
