Patients with disabilities (PWD) often need to undergo general anesthesia to perform dental procedures to maintain oral health. It requires human resources and infrastructure in a hospital environment to become safe and effective. The epidemiological profile of patients undergoing dental treatment under general anesthesia by the Dentistry service of a Reference Hospital was analyzed between 2019-2023, with a total of 65 consultations. Of those, 72.31% were male, with a mean age of 20 years. The most prevalent diagnosis was autism spectrum disorder (27.69%), followed by intellectual disability (21.53%), cerebral palsy (21.53%), syndromic patients (10.76%), and some patients had more than one systemic condition. As for the dental conduct, 90.76% underwent surgical procedures, and 60% restorative treatments. PWDs often have difficulties maintaining oral health, living with pain, and difficulty in eating. Safe and adequate care is important to maintain the quality of life and contribute to the general health of these patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
