title: The need for general anesthesia for the dental treatment of mentally handicapped patients: a follow-up study.
abstract: Over a period of years, it appeared possible to provide routine treatment without the use of general anesthesia for nearly all of the patients. The majority required treatment under general anesthesia because of their lack of previous dental care.
