Summary

What are the possible postoperative complications that may occur for children following dental treatment under general anaesthesia and is there a correlation between those complications and type of dental treatment done?

Detailed description

Nowadays, early childhood caries (ECC) remains a significant challenge of public health in Egyptian children. In most cases, children with ECC could accept dental treatment under non-pharmacological behavior management or sedation. However, some very young children or those suffering severe anxiety, mental or physical disabilities, could only be treated under dental general anesthesia (DGA). Dental general anesthesia (DGA) is a safe and high-quality restorative and preventive treatment option for children with severe early childhood caries (S-ECC), who require extensive dental treatment and exhibit anxiety and emotional or cognitive immaturity or are medically compromised. However, several postoperative complications have been reported in children under DGA in many studies. For a day-stay, general anesthesia procedure to be an acceptable option, care during and after surgery must be of the highest quality, and postoperative complications must be minimized.
