Abstract

|
Many disabled patients need extensive dental treatment because they have much difficulty in maintaining their oral hygiene. However, because they are not cooperative and not manageable, they require physical restraints, drug induced sedation or general anesthesia. General anesthesia is useful in control of the patients who cannot be treated in other ways. Additionally, general anesthesia provides more safe environment for medically compromised patients. The aim of the present study was to investigate a kind of disorder, sources of referral, preoperative oral condition, experience of dental visit, and performing general anesthesia or not of 930 disabled patients in Kyung-Hee University dental hospital for 30 years.
