Outpatient, dental care of adult vulnerable patients under general anaesthesia —a retrospective evaluation of need for treatment and dental follow-up care

ConclusionsDental treatment need was high for adult vulnerable people. The diagnostic groups differed mainly in their subjective reason for need of a GA, their DMF/T, treatment needs and type of treatments performed. Failure and dental emergency rates after GA were low in spite of a recall interval of 12 months.Clinical RelevanceRegular annual recalls could avoid dental emergencies in patients requiring treatment under GA.
