“…Few studies have assessed the parental perspective on GA exposure in young children. Some of our findings are similar to those of a survey of Singaporean parental perspectives on GA 2 . Both found that some parents were concerned with their child's GA exposure but not specifically regarding neurodevelopmental effects.…”

“…Uncertainty in practitioners can be due to lack of knowledge (Rajbanshi et al, 2019) or rare administration of GA (Wali et al, 2016). Negative media reports about GA after the warning of the FDA also have an impact (Koh et al, 2019). To improve these uncertainties following guidelines and participating in training courses are a valid tool (Ramazani, 2016).…”

AIM Practitioner`s knowledge and parental perspectives on dental general anaesthesia (GA) have been surveyed separately in the past. But in daily routine both need to collaborate for the benefit of the child. The aim of this paper was to compare parental and practitioner’s acceptance of GA with special focus on identifying factors which influence their differences in decision making. MATERIAL AND METHODS Questionnaires were conducted among 142 participants in a specialized paediatric dental clinic in Germany from February 2020 to February 2021. Data collection included: age, gender, experience with GA, fear of GA, risk evaluation and indications for GA. RESULTS There were no gender related differences in decision making. Emotional factors are present in parents of younger children. Parents are more likely to express fear and uncertainty regarding GA than dentists. Prior experience with GA significantly decreases fears in GA for parents. Both agree that extent of the treatment and low compliance are a suitable indication for GA. Dentists are more likely to accept GA due to a mental disability than parents. Parents were more likely to accept GA than dentists when multiple extractions were needed (regardless of compliance) or acute pain was present. CONCLUSION Practitioners should discuss the actual risks of GA as well as alternatives when educating about GA to help parents in their decision making. Emotional aspects in their pre-treatment consultation should be considered. To improve decision-making reliability, guidelines provided by health authorities are a reasonable aid.

“…It has been reported that DGA has a positive psychological impact on children [11,12] and reinforces positive attitudes of parents and children toward oral health [13][14][15]. Despite these positive aspects, some parents are still concerned about hospital admission and the use of GA [16], influencing their decision toward their children's treatment [16,17]. In this internet and technology era, patients have easy access to more information about treatment options and associated complications [17].…”

The prevalence of dental caries in Saudi children is estimated to be 80% for primary dentition and 70% for permanent dentition. Dental treatment under general anesthesia (GA) might be recommended for children with uncooperative behavior or complicated dental treatment requirements. Despite its advantages, some parents have concerns regarding this approach. Nonetheless, little is known about Saudi parents’ perceptions and concerns regarding pediatric dental treatment under GA. The main objective of this study was to determine parents’ concerns and perceptions on pediatric dental treatment under GA in Saudi Arabia. It is a cross-sectional survey study. The inclusion criteria were: Arabic-speaking parents of healthy children aged 1–14 years referred to GA screening for dental treatment in a hospital. The final study cohort comprised 319 participants. The first part of the questionnaire included the children’s and parents’ demographic and clinical input, while the second part comprised the parents’ perceptions and concerns. The survey was distributed in the dental office during GA screening visits. Our findings revealed that most parents were concerned about possible GA-related complications (78%), followed by postoperative pain (51%), intravenous line and cannula (49%) and coma or death (46%). This study highlights that most Saudi parents were concerned about the use of GA in pediatric dental treatment and the need for more awareness regarding the risks, benefits and expected outcomes of pediatric dental care under GA.
