“…Also, regarding the age group, it was observed that the youngest individuals in this study were those who presented medical conditions from birth. These results may represent shorter life expectancy for individuals with syndromes when compared to normoreactive individuals [5,16]. Individuals with chronic systemic diseases were the oldest in the study population, since these conditions are more representative in the age group over 40 years of age [4,15].…”

“…Scientific evidence shows that not all dentists are able to identify different groups with special needs, which may constitute one of the barriers to access to dental treatment. The number of universities that include the PSN discipline in their undergraduate and graduate programs is still small considering the need in Brazil [15,16,20].…”

“…Informações como faixa etária, hábitos de higiene bucal, patologia de base e queixa principal são essenciais para elaborar um plano de tratamento adequado, demonstrando a importância da odontologia no tratamento multidisciplinar de pacientes com necessidades especiais. 22 Entre as dificuldades encontradas pelas PcD ao procurarem atendimento/procedimento odontológico está a recusa do profissional em atender esse público, dificuldade esta encontrada principalmente nas ESF. Entre as pessoas que não conseguiram atendimento, o motivo principal foi de que o profissional não apresentava qualificação adequada para lidar com PcD.…”

“…Persons with special needs (PSN) are characterized by a wide spectrum of long-term physical, mental, intellectual, or sensory impairments, affecting their daily activities and influencing the provision of healthcare, including dental care [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ]. In the field of special care dentistry, this group of vulnerable individuals manifests a generally higher rate of oral diseases, such as caries and periodontal diseases, and often reveals substantial additional needs of extensive, multidisciplinary, and complex dental treatment [ 5 , 6 ]. In a considerable proportion of PSN, a ‘gentle approach’, behavioral management, and/or cognitive behavioral therapy is deemed ineffective, and such patients require pharmacological management in the form of conscious sedation utilizing several pathways, as well as dental general anesthesia (GA) in the most severe cases [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ].…”

“…It has to be emphasized that, despite its benefits, GA is regarded as an economical and financial burden for care providers because it requires a specific hospital infrastructure, compatible with the complexity of planned procedures, specialist support of anesthesiologists, and interdisciplinary team to provide safe and efficient care [ 15 , 16 ]. Detailed information related to the treatment of PSN under GA is scarce, despite the well-recognized benefits [ 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ]. The general characteristics and health profile of patients subjected to dental procedures under GA are essential when planning a session under GA and indicating this intervention, as well as composing an integral element of public health reporting data to facilitate appropriate strategic planning for improving a healthcare provision.…”
