General anesthesia and sedoanalgesia applications in dentistry can make dental treatment possible and comfortable for patients who feel intense fear and anxiety against dental treatment, who cannot tolerate dental treatments performed with local anesthesia, who are uncomfortable with long-lasting dental treatments performed while awake and who cannot have dental treatment for similar reasons. General anesthesia and sedoanalgesia services can be provided to both pediatric and adult patients.
General anesthesia is a state of complete sleep and numbness that aims to eliminate unpleasant sensations such as pain, sensitivity, vibration and emotions such as fear and anxiety that may be felt during treatment. A plastic tube is inserted into the mouth of people under general anesthesia to control their breathing, and the patient’s breathing is secured.
Sedoanalgesia is a sedation and pain reduction procedure that aims to reduce unpleasant sensations such as pain, sensitivity, vibration and feelings of fear and anxiety that may be felt during treatment.
Sedoanalgesia is performed with anesthesia drugs like general anesthesia, but sedoanalgesia aims for a more superficial state of sleep and numbness than general anesthesia. Sedoanalgesia is often referred to as sedation in daily practice.
Which of the general anesthesia or sedoanalgesia options is safer and more appropriate for the patient is determined and applied individually by the anesthesiology and reanimation specialist according to the patient’s age, medical condition and the surgery to be performed.
The drugs used in both general anesthesia and sedoanalgesia can be administered intravenously, intramuscularly or by inhalation. After the anesthesia drugs enter the bloodstream, they reach the brain and cause sleep and numbness. During this process, patients’ blood oxygen levels, heart rate and rhythm, blood pressure are monitored with various devices.
After the effect of the drugs wears off, awakening occurs and senses return to normal over time. The patient is discharged when there is sufficient recovery for discharge.
