Anesthesia for the elderly and special needs patient

J W Leyman et al. Dent Clin North Am. 1999 Apr.

Abstract

This article focuses on the elderly patient and developmentally disabled children and adults. Although many individuals in these groups can receive dental care with only the use of local anesthetic, this article focuses on those that require sedation or general anesthesia. Areas in which the management of these patients significantly differs from routine anesthesia are emphasized.
