Abstract

Aim: This study aims to evaluate the demographic characteristics of patients treated under general anesthesia in dentistry and the reasons for their admission to general anesthesia. Material and Method: Patients treated under general anesthesia at Eskişehir Osmangazi University Faculty of Dentistry Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery between May 20, 2013, and April 1, 2023, were analyzed. The relationships between age, gender, systemic diseases, reasons for general anesthesia, and dental treatment parameters under general anesthesia were evaluated for those who met the inclusion criteria. Descriptive statistics, including standard deviation, mean, minimum and maximum values, percentages, cross tables, and frequencies, were used. The chi-square test was used to evaluate relationships between groups. Post-hoc analyses were performed using the chi-square distribution's right-tailed probability to identify significant differences between groups. A significance level of p 0.05). However, there was a strong relationship between systemic conditions and reasons for general anesthesia (p<0.05). Dental phobia was more common among patients with mental retardation. Significant differences were observed in the reasons for general anesthesia across age groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: The most frequent treatments under general anesthesia were tooth extraction and restorative procedures. The primary reasons for undergoing general anesthesia were anesthesia requirements, dental phobia, and gag reflex. Demographic factors such as age and systemic health significantly influence the causes and outcomes of treatments. These findings highlight the need for specific strategies to improve the effectiveness and accessibility of dental care under general anesthesia.

Özet

Giriş: Bu çalışmada diş hekimliğinde genel anestezi altında tedavi edilen hastaların demografik özellikleri ve genel anesteziye yatış nedenleri değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntemler: 20 Mayıs 2013 ile 1 Nisan 2023 tarihleri ​​arasında Eskişehir Osmangazi Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi Ağız, Diş ve Çene Cerrahisi Anabilim Dalı'nda genel anestezi altında tedavi edilen hastalar analiz edilmiştir. Dahil etme kriterlerini karşılayanlar için yaş, cinsiyet, sistemik hastalıklar, genel anestezi nedenleri ve genel anestezi altında diş tedavisi parametreleri arasındaki ilişkiler değerlendirilmiştir. Sonuçlar: Genel anestezi altında tedavi edilen 550 hastanın verileri analiz edilmiştir. Hastaların yaşları 1 ile 79 arasında değişmekte olup, ortalama yaş 16,41'dir. En sık uygulanan tedaviler diş çekimi ve restoratif işlemlerdir. Cinsiyet ile genel anestezi nedeni arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunamamıştır (p=0,064). Ancak sistemik durumlar ile genel anestezi nedenleri arasında güçlü bir ilişki bulunmuştur (p<0,001). Mental retardasyonu olan hastalarda diş fobisi daha yaygındı. Genel anestezinin nedenlerinde yaş grupları arasında anlamlı farklılıklar gözlendi (p<0,001). Sonuç: Genel anestezi altında en sık uygulanan tedaviler diş çekimi ve restoratif prosedürlerdi. Genel anesteziye girmenin birincil nedenleri anestezi gereksinimleri, diş fobisi ve öğürme refleksiydi. Genel anestezi altında uygulanan diş tedavileri hastaların demografik özelliklerine göre değişmekte olup bu faktörler arasında anlamlı ilişkiler bulunmuştur. Bu bulguları desteklemek ve genel anestezi uygulamalarının nedenini daha iyi anlamak için daha fazla çalışmaya ihtiyaç vardır.
