Deep Sedation for Dental Care Management in Healthy and Special Health Care Needs Children: A Retrospective Study

Abstract: Background: Very young children, and those with disabilities and extensive oral pathology, who cannot be treated in the dental chair, require deep sedation or general anesthesia for dental treatment. Objective: The aim of this study is to describe and compare the oral health status in healthy and SHCN children and the treatments performed under deep sedation on an outpatient basis with a minimal intervention approach, and their impact on quality of life. Methods: A retrospective study between 2006 and 2018 was… Show more

“…We have applied our tool to a dataset collected for a previous study [ 15 , 16 ]. The goal of that study was to describe the oral health condition in two populations, one with healthy children and another one with SHCN, that is, children who due to physical, medical, developmental or cognitive conditions require special consideration when receiving dental treatment [ 22 ]; and to compare the treatments performed under deep sedation in both populations.…”

“…This percentage is higher than in the studies reviewed, whose sample consists only of children with SHCN [12]. Bücher et al ( 2016) [12] explained their low percentage (10.8%) of reinterventions because the initial sample had a very low dmft, because they rarely performed pulp treatment in the deciduous dentition and because the mean number of extractions in the rst intervention was 2.5 teeth per patient, compared to 1.35 in our study [19]. In our opinion, the reason for the high percentage of second sedation in our study was the quarterly prevention programme, which allowed very close monitoring of the patients who voluntarily chose to join it.…”

“…Except for necessary surgery, the most common etiologies of received GA during early childhood are minor surgery, including inguinal hernia [ 19 ], redundant prepuce, phimosis [ 20 ], and hydrocele [ 21 ]. In addition, there is a steady growth of the widespread use of GA in children, such as dental treatment [ 22 , 23 ], MRI image study [ 24 ], or removal of a foreign body in the external auditory canal, nose, or esophagus [ 25 , 26 ]. The reasons for using GA in these procedures are not only that it can reduce procedure time [ 22 ] and anxiety [ 27 ] but also the possibility of constant subsiding postoperative pain [ 28 ].…”
