Abstract
Exploring parental acceptance of the use of general anaesthesia (ga) for their children’s dental treatment is crucial. This study aimed to determine the association between type of dental treatment and parental acceptance for ga, and explore common dental treatments performed for paediatric dental patients at amdi, usm. One rationale for this study was to fill the literature gap of factors that influence ga application in paediatric dental care. The retrospective phase involved analysing children’s dental records from 1st january 2015 to 31st december 2022 found in the amdi database. The prospective phase involved assessing parental perceptions of ga for their children’s dental treatment using a self-administered questionnaire. The research sample involved 822 parents providing data for 411 children, who were subject of study. The results revealed that the most common treatments given to children were tooth extraction (68.46%) and tooth coloured restoration (61.02%).
