Abstract

Sedation or general anesthesia is often required to offer dental treatment to patients with special needs. However, patients with ASA classification of III or higher are not indicated for moderate sedation and might be exposed to danger when treated at outpatient dental clinic. For this reason, it is recommended to treat those patients under general anesthesia. The dental team can supervise and monitor the whole procedures during treatment with an appropriately equipped facility. This case report describes the dental treatment of a 7-year-old girl with multiple disabilities. Preoperative evaluation including medical consultation was carried out thoroughly and dental treatment was performed under general anesthesia safely.

협조능력의 부족으로 치과 외래에서의 치과치료가 불가능한 소아 환자의 경우 약물을 이용한 진정법 또는 전신마취 하 치과치료를 고려하게 된다. 하지만 ASA III급 이상의 환자들을 대상으로 외래에서 약물을 이용한 진정법 하에서 치과치료를 진행하기에는 무리가 있으며, 전신마취 또한 엄격한 사전 선별과 관리 감독을 거쳐 진행해야 한다. 저자들은 지적 장애를 동반한 ASA III급에 속하는 환아의 치과 치료를 타 과와의 협진을 통하여 전신마취 하에서 성공적으로 시행하였기에 이를 보고하는 바이다.
