Oral surgical procedures in general anesthesia for paediatric patients

General anaesthesia may be indicated to treat patient anxiety associated with dental treatment, to enable treatment for patients who have cognitive impairment or motor dysfunction which prevents adequate dental treatment, to treat patients below the age of reason, or for traumatic or extensive surgical procedures. This modality should only be used when indicated, as an adjunct to appropriate nonpharmacologic means of patient management. Many oral surgeons are providing general anesthesia for number of patients annually. Although the surgical duration of these anesthetics was often very brief, the sheer average number of cases provided by individual oral surgeons is significantly more than the vast majority of any other type of anesthesia provider. The main indications for general anesthesia in oral surgery for paediatric patients are limited access to surgical field, risk of damage of vital structures, unusual cases and aggressive diseases, systemic conditions of patients. These factors often overlap and complicate each other. Solving complex clinical cases requires diagnostic competence, effective anesthesia, adequate instruments and equipment, and rational method of operation.
