Abstract

Managing a child for dental treatment is one of the most challenging tasks for both anaesthesiologists & pediatric dentists alike. The goal is to provide safe, painless, anxiety-free, prompt & appropriate treatment in the minimum number of sessions. To achieve this, children need to be given Monitored Anaesthesia Care (MAC), Sedation, Anxiolysis or sometimes complete general anaesthesia (GA) by appropriately trained specialists in day-care & ambulatory services settings with better advances in anaesthesia, dentistry, pharmacology, monitoring devices, better understanding of paediatric airway anatomy & physiology, paediatric dental anaesthesia has become safe over the last few years. This chapter overviews the various aspects of Pediatric dental anaesthesia & sedation and highlights the significance of specialised infrastructure, personnel, & protocols.
