Abstract
Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate dental procedures performed under general anesthesia in terms of mental retardation and dental anxiety. Material and Methods: A total of 54 patients were included in this study, 25 of whom were female (46.3%) and 29 of whom were male (53.7%). Patients were evaluated for systemic health status, mental retardation, dental anxiety and dental procedures. Results: The age range of the patients is between 2 and 50 and the mean age is 12.33 ± 11.4. When the patients were evaluated for dental anxiety and mental retardation; there were 13 patients (24.1%) of 54 patients with mental retardation and anxiety in the remaining 41 (75.9%) patients. When the patients were assessed for the presence or absence of a systemic problem, 40 patients (74.1%) of the 54 had no systemic problem and 14 (25.9%) had systemic problem. When dental procedures were evaluated; 52 patients of 54 were due to tooth extraction, 1 patient was due to cyst-tumor removal, and 1 was due to trauma seen to have undergone operation. Conclusion: Dental procedure applications under general anesthesia due to dental anxiety; are more common than due to mental retardation.
