The process of construction and validation of measurement instruments in the field of health is a complex issue that includes various stages, the existing information on this methodological process is scattered and unclear. The objective of this article is to synthesize and propose recommendations based on the scientific literature on an adequate methodological process for the construction and validation of measurement instruments in the field of health. An exhaustive review of the literature was carried out in databases such as Medline, Scielo, Science direct and Google Schoolar between 1994 and 2020, related to the construction and validation of measurement instruments. 62 articles were obtained, after reading and exclusion, 34 articles considered adequate to meet the stated objectives were selected. Based on the information found, the stages for an adequate construction and validation...

Dental needle fracture during anesthetic placement is a rare complication that can cause significant anxiety for both the patient and their family. Complications may range from mild pain, trismus, and dysphagia to injuries involving nerve or vascular structures. We present a case of dental needle fracture in the pterygomandibular space following an inferior alveolar nerve block in a 3-year-old girl. The needle fracture appears to have resulted from the child’s sudden movement during the administration of the dental anesthesia. The needle fragment was located using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), and surgical retrieval was successfully performed 24 hours after the incident under general anesthesia. Dental needle fractures are complications that can generally be prevented with proper precautions. However, it is essential to understand the appropriate actions to take should this rar...
