Abstract

ARENAS, Marcela; BARBERIA, Elena; MAROTOM, Myriam  and  GOMEZ, Borja. Paternal demand of paediatric dental treatment using general anaesthesia: A surprising reality. RCOE [online]. 2006, vol.11, n.3, pp.329-343. ISSN 1138-123X.

The use of general anaesthesia to carry out dental treatments is generally chosen as the last option. Nevertheless, in certain circumstances the parents are the ones who demand this type of attention in order to avoid the use of behaviour management techniques applied to allow dental treatment in non cooperative patients. That is the reason why we decided to evaluate the decision process and the attitude of each part involved in that decision, as well as the factors that can lead to carrying out the oral rehabilitation under general anaesthesia.

Keywords : Behaviour management; General anaesthesia; Parents attitude.
