Introduction. General anaesthesia can reduce child stress associated with occasionally very unpleasant dental treatment. However, general anaesthesia with endotracheal intubation is commonly used with dental procedures despite the fact that endotracheal tubes obstruct good access to molars, especially in very small children. In this article we would like to contribute to changes in anaesthetic methods to those less harsh for patients. Materials and method. At our dental practice, located at a rural area, total intravenous anaesthesia with propofol infusion, without endotracheal intubation, has been used for more than 10 years as standard procedure for the dental treatment of children. Retrospective analysis of medical records of 614 children was performed, including search for perioperative critical incidents. Results. There were two adverse events. In the first, a boy (age 10.5 years with a history of tricuspid valve regurgitation) developed severe bradycardia, with no conjunction with any desaturation. Atropine was given and heart rhythm returned to normal values. The second incident occurred during the recovery of a 4-year-old girl who developed laryngospasm after the procedure, and the decision to use rescue intubation was made. The child recovered and was extubated shortly afterwards without any further problems. These two cases account for the total perioperative critical incident rate of 0.33% (95% confidence interval ~0 to 1.3%). Conclusions. General anaesthesia without endotracheal intubation has been safe for paediatric dental treatment at our practice. Patients should be guided to follow strict fasting rules, and a throat pack and efficient suction are essential. The anaesthesiologist should be present during the intraoperative period until the child is safely discharged.
