Morbidity following dental extraction. A comparative survey of local analgesia and general anaesthesia.
A survey of morbidity following dental extraction has been carried out. No great differences were found between the morbidity experienced by those patients who had a general anaesthetic and those who had local analgesia. Comparison with the results of a survey conducted by other workers in 1961 shows that modern anaesthetic techniques have virtually eliminated cyanosis and that absenteeism following extractions has increased.
