The provision of primary care dental general anaesthesia and sedation in the north west region of England, 1996-1999.
To investigate trends in the provision of primary care dental general anaesthesia (DGA) and sedation following the new guidance from the General Dental Council. ⋯ The revised General Dental Council guidance has reduced the numbers of DGAs being carried out in both GDS and CDS. The number of sedations involving another dentist or doctor has increased considerably but the new guidance seems to have had little effect on the numbers of patients receiving operated administered conscious sedation and inhalation sedation.
