Introduction: Caries is the most common chronic disease of childhood, and severe forms may necessitate rehabilitative dental surgery. In this study, administrative data related to pediatric dental surgery performed under general anesthesia to treat severe early childhood caries in Manitoba, Canada, were reviewed to determine trends in pediatric dental surgery, as well as geographic, regional and socio-economic variations in surgical rates.
Methods: The total number of dental surgery cases performed under general anesthesia was obtained from provincial administrative databases for fiscal years from 1997-98 to 2006-07.
