General anesthesia is an effective behavior management method for disabled patients or uncooperative children who have difficulty in cooperation. The objective of this study was to assess and analyze dental treatment under general anesthesia in department of pediatric dentistry at Pusan National University Dental Hospital for 5 years. One hundred and nine cases of general anesthesia from June 2013 to May 2018 were surveyed for this study. Patients’ distribution, reasons for general anesthesia, treatment pattern, agents for general anesthesia, duration of treatment, and visiting route were assessed. The proportion of male was higher than female and age group of 5 to 9 was highest. Reasons for general anesthesia were handicapped situations with or without systemic disease(52%), operative treatment needs(13.2%), uncooperative(15%) and others(29.8%). Most used agents for general anesthesia were thiopental sodium and sevoflurane. Dental treatment under general anesthesia for handicapped and uncooperative children has been increasing. Therefore, it is important to improve the system and efficiency of general anesthesia to provide satisfactory treatment.
