Comparative StudyA comparison of restorations for children with early childhood caries treated under general anesthesia or conscious sedation.
There is no data in the dental literature concerning the quality of the restorations performed in young children with early childhood caries (ECC) under sedation as compared with those treated under general anesthesia (GA). The aim of this study was to compare the quality of restorations and recurrent caries in 65 children with ECC who had dental treatment under GA or sedation. ⋯ It is concluded that the outcome of treatments related to quality of the restorations performed under GA is better for all parameters examined.
