Anaesthesia for dentistry in children: a review of 101 surgical procedures

Abstract

Anaesthetic management was studied during 101 procedures for dental surgery or conservation in paediatric patients. Ninety-seven children from 2 to 15 years of age were investigated. Some were essentially healthy; others had coincidental diseases varying in severity. Since general anaesthesia for paediatric dentistry is gaining general acceptance, a simple technique with a low incidence of complications is suggested as having wide applicability. © 1970 Canadian Anesthesiologists.
