Abstract

Aim: Purpose of our research was to assess the preference of pediatric dentists to carry out treatment with either conscious sedation or with general anesthesia. Methodology: 50 children were selected for your study who did not have any previous medical conditions. Patients requiring complete dental treatment were treated under GA, those requiring one or two procedures were under conscious sedation. The two groups of patients were evaluated in terms of vital signs, duration of the treatment procedure, patient behavior, recovery time and comfort experienced by the dentists and the anesthesiologists. Results: Dentists in sedation group were anxious, uncomfortable and restless during implementation of dental treatment. During dental procedure under sedation, some interruption has been noted in few cases such as vomiting during the procedure (3 cases). Those who vomited, during the procedure, their heads were turned to one side, the procedure was discontinued immediately (to prevent aspiration), and the patients were referred for treatment under GA. Conclusion: Dental treatment under CS can be successful with little or no complications if the cases are well selected by qualified trained dentist
