Abstract
The premature extraction of primary teeth of children could be done both under local or under general anesthesia. Тhe method of choice depends on different factors. Dental treatment under GA is an effective way to provide necessary dental care to children with special needs, medically-compromised, cognitively immature, highly anxious. The aim of this study is to compare the average age and the average DMFT index of the children with premature extraction of primary teeth treated under local and under general anesthesia. Subject of monitoring of the research were 60 children. The clinical group consists of 30 children with teeth for premature extraction under general anesthesia and the control group consists of 30 children for premature extraction under local anesthesia. The dental status was examined and registered by the DMFT index. The age of the children was filled out in special registration cards. There was a statistically significant difference in the age and the DMFT index between the first group (4.67±0.26 average age) and second group (4.67±0.26 average age ). The DMFT index for the first (clinical) group is 7.18±0.66 and – 5.17±0.33 for the second (control) group. The results show the connection between the carious activity and the need of prevention in younger children.
