Navigating dental care under anesthesia: a comparative analysis of patients with dental anxiety and intellectual disabilities dental treatments under general anesthesia in adult patients.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionThe aim of this study was to evaluate dental treatment procedures performed under general anesthesia in adult patient.
methodsThe clinical records of 94 patients between the ages of 16 and 79, whose dental treatments were completed under general anesthesia between January 2021 and 2023, were evaluated retrospectively. Fisher's Exact Test and Pearson Chi-Square Test were used to compare the obtained data according to groups. The significance level was taken as p<0.050.
resultsA statistically significant difference was found in the restorative and periodontal treatments performed under general anesthesia between systemic diseases/disabled and healthy groups (p=0.002). A statistically significant difference was found between the duration of general anesthesia of systemic diseases/disabled and healthy groups (p= 0.013). In ASA I and ASA II scoring, a statistically significant difference was found (p=0.001).
conclusionThe fact that restorative and periodontal treatments are needed more in unhealthy/disabled individuals has shown that oral hygiene is inadequate in unhealthy/disabled individuals. Systemically healthy patients had more dental treatments under general anesthesia in our hospital than unhealthy patients due to anxiety. Performing dental procedures under general anesthesia in appropriate indications for adult patients is a preferable method today, as dental treatments are completed in a single visit and the possibility of the patient's lack of cooperation in the chair is eliminated.
