Deputy Dean of Üsküdar University Faculty of Dentistry, Prosthetic Dentistry Specialist Prof. Dr. İbrahim Berk Bellaz shared information about dental treatments performed with general anesthesia.
Noting that it is possible to perform more than one procedure at the same time in dental treatment, Prosthetic Dentistry Specialist Prof. Dr. İbrahim Berk Bellaz said, “Patients are put to sleep under the supervision of an anesthesiologist and all tooth extractions, root canal treatments, fillings and implants can be performed at the same time. Measurements are taken, temporary prostheses are made and applied to the patient immediately.”
Faster dental treatment is desired without compromising on quality
Prof. Dr. İbrahim Berk Bellaz stated that life is fast-paced today and people do not have time to spare for many things, and said that individuals want faster, quicker treatments and that health and quality should not be compromised in any way while performing these treatments.
All procedures can be performed simultaneously under general anesthesia
Stating that the method for this is to perform more than one operation at the same time. Prof. Dr. İbrahim Berk Bellaz said, “Patients are put to sleep under the supervision of an anesthesiologist and all tooth extractions, root canal treatments, fillings and implants can be performed at the same time. Measurements are taken, temporary prostheses are made and applied to the patient immediately.”
All procedures for patients coming from abroad can be completed in the same session.
Prof. Dr. İbrahim Berk Bellaz recorded that rapid treatment can be performed with general anesthesia for both patients coming from abroad, patients who are in Istanbul and cannot spare time, and pediatric patients, adding that patients will save time.
Indicating that sedation is generally applied to adult patients who are very afraid of the dentist, Prof. Dr. İbrahim Berk Bellaz said, “Sedation is a lighter form of anesthesia. Sedation method is tried in possible patients. Simple and short-term procedures can be easily performed under sedation without the need for intubation.”
