Abstract :Aim: We aimed to evaluate anesthesia-related complications in pediatric patients undergoing dental treatment under general anesthesia insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(GA);. Materials and Methods: After ethical committee approvel, the records of pediatric patients who were operated between 01.09.2020-01.09.2022 at Selcuk University Faculty of Dentistry General Anesthesia and Sedation Clinic were evaluated with regards of demographic data, ASA, comorbidities, duration of anesthesia, recovery time, cardiac/pulmonary complications, and unanticipated hospitalization rate. The patients were divided into 3 groups according to age as group 1 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0-3 years);, group 2 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3-6 years);, group 3 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(>6 years);. Results: The total number of patients were 398. All patients were between 2-15 years of age. Since the number of patients in group 1 is 7, it was not statistically evaluated in comparisons. The mean duration of anesthesia for all patients was 96.9 minutes, the times in group 2 and group 3 were 100.3 minutes and 88.7 minutes, respectively, and the difference between groups 2 and 3 was statistically significant insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.003);.The mean BMI values of all patients, in group 2 and in group 3 were 16.1, and 18.6, respectively and the difference between group 2 and 3 was statistically significant insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.001);. In group 2, the number of ASA 1 and 2 patients were 87.2% and 12.1%, respectively. In group 3, the number of ASA 1 and 2 patients were 56.4% and 40.6%, respectively. The difference between group 2 and 3 regarding ASA score was statistically significant insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.001);. Conclusion: We have not found any patients under 3 years of age who were at risk according to the FDA warning regarding the risks of anesthetic drugs. No cardiac or pulmonary complications were observed in any of our patients and there were no unexpected hospitalizations. Key Words: dental treatment, general anesthesia, pediatric dentistry
