Investigation of the Actual Situation of Dental Treatment for Children under General Anesthesia at the Department of Pedodontics of Matsumoto Dental College : Concerning the nursing methods of the patients
In order to clarify the actual situation of dental treatment under general anesthesia and the nursing methods of these patients, we examined 102 patients receiving dental treatment under general anesthesia at Matsumoto Dental College Hospital's Department of Pedodontics from 1989-1993. The results were as follows: 1. Though the mean month-age of the patients was 41.50±12.5 months, 74% of the patients ranged from 2-3 years old. 2. The adaptation reasons for general anesthesia were young age (63.7%), uncooperativeness with dental treatment (57.8%), and because the patients who lived a long distance from the college hospital (31.4%). 86.3% of the patients had multiple dental caries. 3. The number of dental caries teeth per patients was 14.96±3.5 on the average. The number of average treated teeth per patient was 15.32±3.5. 4. The anesthesia treatment time averaged 211.03±43.2 minutes. Anesthesia was performed by endotracheal intubation in all cases. Also most of the cases were done by nasotracheal intubation and slow induction. 5. In terms of mean month-age of weaning and regularity of nursing, the patients tended to be late and to be nursed more irregularly than ordinary children. 6. A high percentage of the patients eat irregularly between meals and have a preference for soft foods. 7. Most of the patients, as observed by their guardians tended to be selfish, whining and spoiled.
