“…The relapse rate in the present study was lower than previously reported. The 6 months relapse in our study was only 1.6 % compared to (Amin et al 2010;El Batawi 2014). Only 2.9 % of children had a previous dental GA in the present study compared to 17 % reported by Almeida et al (2000).…”

“…Amin et al (2010) reported a 22 % relapse rate in patients attending a recall appointment within 1 year following surgery compared with a 51 % relapse rate in the group attending their first recalls at 13-24 months post-surgery. An increased relapse rate from 51 % in high attendance patients to 68 % in patients with a lower attendance rate was reported by El Batawi (2014). A higher relapse rate was also observed in patients who did not attend immediate follow-up appointments (Foster et al 2006).…”

“…A limitation in our study might be our patient record-based data, as in many other studies [ 14 , 16 , 17 , 20 ]. In general, the records can be taken as reliable, because there are statutory rules for the recording and treatment codes used in patient records in Finland.…”

“…The compliance of generally healthy children in attending the postoperative review visit scheduled two weeks after comprehensive treatment under DGA has been reported to vary between 48–100%, while the compliance in attending the subsequent recalls has tended to decline over time [ 14 – 17 ]. Caries relapse has been found in 37–54% of those returning to 4–6-month recalls [ 18 , 19 ], and in 53–79% of those returning to recalls within two years [ 14 , 17 , 20 ], a proportion of them again needing treatment under DGA [ 14 , 20 ].…”

BackgroundDental general anesthesia (DGA) is part of public dental care in Finland, but the intention is to return the patient to routine dental care. The aims of this study were to describe the details of treatments under DGA given to generally healthy children and to explore the outcome of their dental care during a 5-year follow-up, with special focus on preventive care. In particular, we examined the return of the patients to routine dental care, of which, to our knowledge, little is known.MethodsOur prospective 5-year follow-up of generally healthy children (aged 0–13 years) treated under DGA by the Helsinki Public Dental Service in 2004 was based on official dental and general anesthesia documents. The statistical analyses employed chi-square tests, t-tests, Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r), Fisher’s transformation to test r ≠ 0, and logistic regression modeling.ResultsThe most common reason for DGA was uncooperation (82%), followed by dental fear (56%). Filling therapy predominated in the treatments given under anesthesia, and the mean number of treatments per patients was 9.5 (SD = 4.2). Throughout the follow-up, 54% of the patients continued to have co-operation problems and 53% expressed dental fear; 11% of the patients received repeat DGA. The mean follow-up time was 48 (median 52) months. The postoperative review visit was actualized within 1.5 (SD = 0.8) months and the first visit to the home dental clinic of the patients in 12.0 (SD = 11.8) months for the 0–5-year-olds and in 7.2 (SD = 5.9) months for the 6–13-year-olds (p < 0.001). The mean time elapsed to the first need for treatment was 18.5 (SD = 14.1) months. During the follow-up, the mean number of treatments per patient was 5.3 (SD = 4.9); almost all patients (97%) received preventive treatment at one of two visits, but the control of dental fear remained rare.ConclusionsTo return to routine dental care after DGA, most of the generally healthy children in our study still needed special attention due to their uncooperation and dental fear, thus calling for a renewal of practices to treat these patients.

“…A study conducted in Buffalo, USA in 2000 reported low rates (39%) of children returning for their immediate follow-up appointment [16]. A recent study in Saudi Arabia reported lower percentages (14%) of patients complying fully with the post-operative recall schedule [17]. Factors contributing to GA review rates are likely to include: cultural [17], socio-demographic, socio-economic and some patients may perceive the appointment as being unnecessary if they have not experienced any adverse effects from the dental GA treatment.…”

with side-effects or complications [7]. Within Australia, child dental GA rates are increasing alarmingly with a threefold rise in rates over a decade (1993-1994) compared to (2003-2004) [8]. Few recent studies (2010-2012) have investigated patterns of dental GA utilisation within Australia. Our catchment area within Victoria, Australia contains the following local government areas: the City of Greater Geelong, Surf-Coast Shire and the Golden Plains Shire (South). Within the region, the major city is Geelong, and is the second largest city within the state of Victoria. In addition to Geelong, the City of Greater Geelong includes small townships, coastal resort towns, small acreage properties and larger farms (population 210,875 area 1,248 km 2). The Surf Coast Shire includes mainly coastal areas (population 25,870 area 1,553 km 2). The Golden Plains Shire (south) (population 18,770 area 2,703 km 2) consists of smaller townships and farming regions. There were 38,100 (14%) children aged less than 10 years old in 2011 [9] and is a similar proportion to that of the broader Australian population. The only public oral health service is managed by Barwon Health and has multiple community health centres throughout the area. Having an understanding of the dental care profile of children and adolescents presenting for dental treatment under GA will enable the development and implementation of preventive interventions that aim to reduce the rate of GA's among children and adolescents in the Barwon region and reduce the economic burden on society associated with dental treatment under GA.
