Curēus 2023 October
Aim The study aims to evaluate the postoperative complications and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) following dental general anesthesia for early childhood caries (ECC). Materials and methods Two hundred children aged between three and six requiring full-mouth rehabilitation for general anesthesia were recruited for the study. Demographic data and oral health-related quality of life using the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (ECOHIS) were collected before the surgery. Postoperative complications and oral health-related quality of life were evaluated after 24 hours and at a one-week follow-up appointment. Results All 200 children returned for the follow-up appointment after one week. Pain was found to be the most common postoperative complication after 24 hours (52%) and one week (6%). The oral health-related quality of life showed a significant improvement after one week (P < 0.001) Conclusion Children may experience a postoperative complication after full-mouth rehabilitation, which resolves within a week. Dental pain was the most common operative complication in the present study. Oral health-related quality of life showed significant improvement after full-mouth rehabilitation.
