Analysis of One- to 21-Year-Old Patients Preplanned for Hospital Admission After Dental Surgery.

The purposes of this study were to: (1) describe patients preplanned for admission to the hospital after dental treatment under general anesthesia (GA) and compare patients who were admitted to those not admitted; (2) describe patients with unplanned admission to the hospital after dental treatment under GA; and (3) refine the criteria used for preplanning patients for admission.
Records of patients preplanned for admission following dental GA at a major children's hospital between January 1, 2015, and June 30, 2017 were reviewed.
Pediatric dentists treated 948 patients.
