Dental Treatment in a Patient with CINCA Syndrome under General Anesthesia

“…Considering joint anomalies that can lead to impairment of function and deformities, careful positioning of these patients is necessary during dental treatment under general anesthesia. As postoperative pain is less likely to induce alterations in the immune system, postoperative analgesic should be considered [23]. However, there are no reports about the stress adversely effects of general anesthesia on the patient's condition.…”

“…Although dental treatment was successfully performed under general anesthesia in this case, prevention of oral disease is important. Early detection is essential to prevent and avoid the progression of oral diseases, as more surgical trauma causes more changes in the immune system [23]. Therefore, dentist and dental hygienist must cooperate with other health care providers and family members to provide professional dental and home care.…”
