Postoperative evaluation of special needs and healthy patients with endodontic treatment under general anesthesia: a retrospective research.

Background: This retrospective clinical study was undertaken to comparatively evaluate the number of restorative treatments, endodontic treatments, and tooth extractions performed for patients under general anesthesia due to dental anxiety or special needs between 2015 and 2022 and to examine the pain, bleeding, nausea, and vomiting data of those patients.

Methods: In total, 1165 patients underwent dental treatment under general anesthesia in the faculty hospital. Those under the age of 15 and with no endodontic procedure planned (n = 918) were excluded, followed by those with incomplete data (n = 25) and those without endodontic treatment (n = 25).

Comparison of the HugeMed video laryngoscope with the Macintosh direct laryngoscope for nasotracheal tracheal intubation in children undergoing dental treatment: a randomized controlled clinical study.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the performance of the HugeMed® videolaryngoscope with a direct Macintosh laryngoscope for nasotracheal intubation.

Methods: Eighty-eight children aged 4-10 years were randomly assigned to either the HugeMed® videolaryngoscope (HVL) or the Macintosh direct laryngoscope (MDL) group. Intubation difficulty, glottic view grade, time-to-intubation, number of tracheal intubation attempts, use of external laryngeal manipulation and Magill forceps, recovery time, pediatric-anesthesia-delirium-scale (PAEDS) scores, pain due to tracheal intubation, and laryngeal bleeding were evaluated.

Efficacy of Preemptive Analgesia on Postoperative Pain Control in Children Who Underwent Full-Mouth Dental Rehabilitation Under General Anesthesia: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.

Aims: To evaluate the efficacy of intravenous preemptive analgesia on postoperative pain in children undergoing dental rehabilitation under general anesthesia.

Methods: In this prospective randomized clinical trial, 70 children aged 3 to 7 years were scheduled for dental treatment and randomized into two groups: the control group or the preemptive group. Patients received 15 mg/kg of intravenous paracetamol either before the start of treatment (preemptive group, n = 35) or at the end of treatment (control group, n = 35).

Comparison of Dexmedetomidine and Ketamine for Managing Postoperative Symptoms After Third-Molar Surgery.

Purpose: Lower-impacted third-molar surgery is the most common oral-maxillofacial surgery procedure and involves a considerable degree of soft- and bony-tissue trauma. This study measured and compared postoperative sequalae between patients receiving dexmedetomidine or ketamine after third-molar surgery.

Patients And Methods: This study was a randomized double-blind prospective trial.

Propofol based total intravenous anesthesia versus sevoflurane based inhalation anesthesia: The postoperative characteristics in oral and maxillofacial surgery.

Objective: Total intravenous anesthesia and inhalation/volatile anesthesia are the main general anesthesia procedures used in all surgical applications. The aim of this study was to compare sevoflurane anesthesia and total intravenous anesthesia with propofol in terms of postoperative complications, especially after oral and maxillofacial surgeries.

Material And Methods: Each patient was taken to the recovery room following extubation, and the pulse rate, non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) and oxygen saturation were monitored.

Assessment of Effect of Submucosal Injection of Dexmedetomidine on Postoperative Symptoms.

Purpose: Embedded third molar surgery is the most frequent oral-maxillofacial surgical procedure performed. The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical effect of submucosal dexmedetomidine (dex) on decreasing postoperative edema, trismus, and pain after surgical molar extraction.

Materials And Methods: We carried out a double-blind, randomized, prospective study including patients undergoing surgical bilateral embedded mandibular molar extraction.

Recovery characteristics of total intravenous anesthesia with propofol versus sevoflurane anesthesia: a prospective randomized clinical trial.

Background: Pediatric dental procedures are performed under anesthesia because children may be uncooperative in the dental clinic due to their young age. Emergence delirium (ED), which involves a variety of behavioral disturbances that are frequently observed in children following emergence from general anesthesia, remains an unclear phenomenon. The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the incidence of ED in children who underwent full mouth dental rehabilitation under either sevoflurane (SEVO) anesthesia or propofol-based total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA).

Comparison of oral dexmedetomidine and midazolam for premedication and emergence delirium in children after dental procedures under general anesthesia: a retrospective study.

Background: Premedication is the most common way to minimize distress in children entering the operating room and to facilitate the smooth induction of anesthesia and is accomplished using various sedative drugs before the children are being transferred to the operating room. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of oral dexmedetomidine (DEX) and oral midazolam (MID) on preoperative cooperation and emergence delirium (ED) among children who underwent dental procedures at our hospital between 2016 and 2017.

Patients And Methods: The medical records of 52 children, who were American Society of Anesthesiologists I, aged between 3 and 7 years, and who underwent full-mouth dental rehabilitation under general anesthesia (GA), were evaluated.

Postoperative discomfort and emergence delirium in children undergoing dental rehabilitation under general anesthesia: comparison of nasal tracheal intubation and laryngeal mask airway.

Background: Several studies have identified side effects of general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation, such as laryngeal pain, dysphonia, and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV). The laryngeal mask airway (LMAw) is believed to decrease these side effects. The aim of this trial was to compare postoperative discomfort, emergence delirium, and recovery time of patients who received either an LMAw or nasotracheal intubation (NTI).

The Effect of Oral Dexmedetomidine Premedication on Preoperative Cooperation and Emergence Delirium in Children Undergoing Dental Procedures.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to detect the effect of 1 g/kg of oral dexmedetomidine (DEX) as premedication among children undergoing dental procedures.

Materials And Methods: The study involved 100 children between 2 and 6 years of age, ASA I, who underwent full-mouth dental rehabilitation. The DEX group ( = 50) received 1 g/kg DEX in apple juice, and the control group ( = 50) received only apple juice.

Immediate Postoperative Pain and Recovery Time after Pulpotomy Performed under General Anaesthesia in Young Children.

Background: The aim of this retrospective study was to compare immediate postoperative pain scores and need for rescue analgesia in children who underwent pulpotomies and restorative treatment and those who underwent restorative treatment only, all under general anaesthesia.

Methods: Ninety patients aged between 3 and 7 years who underwent full mouth dental rehabilitation under general anaesthesia were enrolled in the study and reviewed. The experimental group included patients who were treated with at least one pulpotomy, and the control group was treated with dental fillings only.

The incidence of postoperative residual curarization following the use of intermediate-acting muscle relaxants and related factors.

Purpose: To evaluate the incidence of residual curarization (RC) and related risk factors in the early and late postoperative periods in patients receiving general anesthesia with intermediate-acting muscle relaxants.

Methods: Two-hundred and eight American Society of Anesthesiologists class I and II patients, aged 18-70 years, who underwent general anesthesia with intermediate-acting muscle relaxants, were included. Heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, tympanic temperature were recorded for each patient who was transported to the recovery room, every 10 minutes by a trained nurse.

The incidence of residual neuromuscular blockade associated with single dose of intermediate-acting neuromuscular blocking drugs.

Background: The goal of this study is to investigate the incidence and risk factors of residual paralysis associated with single-dose intermediate-acting muscle relaxants (atracurium, vecuronium, rocuronium) during early postoperative period.

Methods: Adult patients (ASA I and II) who received a single dose of vecuronium, atracurium or rocuronium during general anesthesia for elective surgical procedure were included in the study. Train-of-four (TOF) ratios under 0.
