The aim of the study is to evaluate postoperative complications observed by families in healthy children between 2 and 14 years of age who have completed dental treatments under general anesthesia. Method and Requirements: Study includes systematically healthy but uncooperable children who apply for dental treatments under general anesthesia. Following the general anesthesia procedure, the families who were volunteer to participate in the work in the 1st and 7th days were reached by telephone and data were collected by a single physician by applying the survey. The average age of 201 patients involved in the study is 4,54 ± 0,81 and the average time of completion of dental treatments is 2,05 ± 0,33 hours. The most common postoperative morbidity agitation was (73.6%) on the first day. This is followed by a pain complaint (6.5%) and sleep/insomnia (30.8%) that requires analgesics in the operation area. Nearly all the families (98%) said they were given sufficient information about the general anesthesia procedure and what to do afterwards. Postoperative pain complaints (12.5%) declined significantly on the 7th day, and 92% of families a reduction in the problems of their children with the tooth during the day. PROTECTION and RESULTS: After dental treatment under general anesthesia, postoperative symptoms, such as agitation, pain, need for analgesic use, may often occur in children. It is important that parents know in advance the situations that they may encounter.
