Individuals with autism can be quite challenging to treat in a routine dental-office setting, especially when extensive dental treatment and disruptive behavioral issues exist. Individuals with autism may also be at higher risk for oral disease. Frequently, general anesthesia is the only method to facilitate completion of the needed dental treatment. General anesthesia is not without complications, and unique occurrences are a necessary consideration for special-needs populations. In addition, behavior challenges may occur which can be disruptive to hospital staff. This article describes treatment needs and determines adverse events during the perioperative period for individuals with autism who have had general anesthesia for comprehensive dental treatment in the hospital.
自闭症个体在常规的牙科诊室中治疗极具挑战性，尤其是在存在广泛的牙科治疗和行为障碍问题时。自闭症个体也可能有更高的口腔疾病风险。通常，全身麻醉是完成所需牙科治疗的唯一方法。全身麻醉并非没有并发症，特殊需求人群需要考虑到独特的情况。此外，还可能出现行为挑战，从而对医院工作人员造成干扰。本文描述了在医院接受全身麻醉进行全面牙科治疗的自闭症个体的治疗需求和围手术期不良事件。
