dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Dental general anesthesia (DGA) is widely used to facilitate the provision of safe and effective treatment for patients with physical, mental and medically compromising conditions and anxious patients who fail to respond to behavior modification techniques. This study aims to determine types of dental treatment and assess perceived level of fear among study subjects.0 Materials and methods: A comparative retrospective record review study of 193 special needs and 193 non-special needs subjects aged less than 18 years was undertaken at two tertiary centers in Kota Bharu, Kelantan from 2001-2006 to explore the utilization of DGA. Postal Child Fear Survey Schedule-Dental Subscale (CFSS-DS) was used to describe dental anxiety and fear. Results: Mean age was 7.4 (4.11) years. Medical problems among special needs children were cardiovascular, respiratory, syndromes, endocrine, bleeding, craniofacial anomalies, neurology, multi-system disorders, autism, myopathy, metabolic and HIV. Dental treatment provided was restorations and extractions. GIC was mostly used followed by a combination of GIC and fissure sealants. More extractions of primary teeth were done for special needs patients followed by restorations. More restoration of primary teeth was done for non-special needs patients followed by extractions. Common surgical treatment for special needs was cleft lip and palate repair. The most common surgical dental procedures for non-special needs patients was removal of impacted teeth, treatment of dento-alveolar abscess, and anomalies.en_US
