Abstract EN
Objective: To analyze data on full mouth rehabilitation under general anesthesia (GA) performed at the Bahrain defense force (BDF) Military Hospital with focus on patient characteristics, type of procedures, reasons of treatment under general anesthesia and post-operative complications.
Material and Methods: Retrospective review of 281 patients treated under GA at the BDF day case surgery unit.
Patient’s (sex, age) clinical data (diagnosis, reasons of treatment, number of stainless steel crowns (SSCs) used, extracted teeth, endodontic treatment, fluoride applications and prophylaxis treatment, postoperative complications were collected.
Results: Two hundred and sixty patients were treated under GA due to their uncooperative behavior, 13 patient were medically compromised, and 7 patients were elective patients.
All patients were discharged on the same day, with no complications, excluding 4 patients, who reported within two of months follow-up with pain.
Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, it is important to educate parents on oral hygiene and caries preventions in order to minimize future failures and the need to repeat the GA, for their children.
Oral rehabilitations under GA may be required for the treatment of non-compliant patients.
Treatment under GA is safe and effective in providing dental care for non-compliant and medically complex patients.
