Abstract
|
|
|
Sedation or general anesthesia is often required to offer dental treatment to patients with special needs. However, patients with ASA classification of III or higher are not indicated for moderate sedation and might be exposed to danger when treated at outpatient dental clinic. For this reason, it is recommended to treat those patients under general anesthesia. The dental team can supervise and monitor the whole procedures during treatment with an appropriately equipped facility.
This case report describes the dental treatment of a 7-year-old girl with multiple disabilities. Preoperative evaluation including medical consultation was carried out thoroughly and dental treatment was performed under general anesthesia safely.
