Aim: This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the demographic and operational data of uncooperative healthy individuals and individuals with special needs who underwent dental treatments under sedation and general anesthesia.
Methods: Data of 458 patients with special needs and 77 healthy noncooperative patients who were examined at XXX University Faculty of Dentistry between January 2022 and May 2023 and underwent dental treatments under general anesthesia were examined retrospectively. Demographic data of the patients, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) scores, mallampati (MP) scores, disability status, if they have systemic diseases, type of anesthesia (sedation/general anesthesia), anesthetic agents and analgesia used, operation duration and dental treatments, were evaluated.
Results: The average age of 535 patients who received dental treatment was 13.5±9.9 years and 58.1% (n=311) of the patients were male and 41.9% (n=224) were female. According to ASA scores, the distribution was 15.7% ASA I, 77.6% ASA II, and 6.7% ASA III. While 14.4% of the patients were systemically healthy, 16.7% had epilepsy, 12.9% had cerebral palsy, 12.1% had mental retardation, and 7.1% had Down syndrome. Of 7.1% had various comorbidities such as cardiological problems. Sedation was applied to 7.3% (n=39) of the patients, and general anesthesia was applied to 92.7% (n=496). The average anesthesia duration was 74.5±34.6 minutes. While the average restorative treatment applied to the patients was calculated as 6.45±3.9, tooth extraction 5.25±4.3, fissure sealant 2.44±2.5, pulp treatment 1.62±0.9; Trauma splint was applied to 3 patients.
Conclusions: While pre-anesthesia evaluation is very important in determining the risks in dental general anesthesia and sedation applications, the operating conditions and the general and oral health of the patients are effective in the dental treatment decision.
