Two different anesthesia models were compared in terms of surgical duration, safer outcomes, and economic implications. Third molar surgeries performed with and without a separate dentist anesthesiologist were evaluated by a retrospective data analysis of the surgical operative times. For more difficult surgeries, substantially shorter operative times were observed with the dentist anesthesiologist model, leading to a more favorable surgical outcome. An example calculation is presented to demonstrate economic advantages of scheduling the participation of a dentist anesthesiologist for more difficult surgeries.

Aims: This evaluation aimed to review the IV sedation service for patients with profound acquired brain injury within the dental department at the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability.

Department of Oral Implantology, Faculty of Dentistry, Istanbul University, Fatih 34093, Türkiye.
Article Synopsis
- Dental implants can trigger dental anxiety, which may increase the risk of cardiovascular events, especially in patients with certain health conditions (ASA PS-II and III).
- The study involved 201 patients undergoing implant placement, assessing factors like patient’s health status, age, gender, and number of implants placed to determine their impact on anxiety and pain perception.
- Results indicated that variables such as ASA-PS, age, gender, and the number of implants significantly influenced dental anxiety reduction, with notable differences in anxiety levels among the study groups.
