title: Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative anesthesia assessment and monitoring in oral surgery.
abstract: This article discusses the general methods used to assess patients before, during, and after operative procedures, sedation, or general anesthesia by the oral and maxillofacial surgery team. The details about specific disease processes will be discussed in other articles. These methods and modalities are not standards, but are commonly used in offices and clinics in the United States where sedation and anesthesia are provided.
