title: [Anesthesiological support for special dental care].
abstract: Many mentally and/or physically handicapped and anxious dental patients do not receive adequate dental treatment because effective ways of supportive treatment are insufficiently known and/or available to dentists. The pharmacologically induced treatment methods: oral sedation, inhalation sedation, intravenous sedation and general anesthesia are discussed. Centres of Special Dental Care are strongly recommended in order to accept the challenge to search for, study and apply those treatment possibilities which are appropriate to these specific patients. Thereby the standard of dental care which could be achieved would be comparable to that for normal patients.
