Abstract

Background: Sever dental fear and mental disorders are indications for dental treatment under general anesthesia, which usually is performed as outpatient anesthesia for dentistry; so decreased recovery time and complications are important. This study aimed to compare the recovery time and complications after Anesthesia with Propofol between mental retard and healthy patients.Methods: In this clinical trial study, 34 mental retarded and 34 healthy patients were prescribed for general anesthesia. In both groups, anesthesia was performed with propofol. After the end of anesthesia, recovery time and complications in both groups were recorded and the data were analyzed with independent samples t and Mann-Whitney tests.Finding: Recovery time in retarded group was significantly higher than the healthy group (P < 0.05); but the side effects had no significant difference between in the two groups (P > 0.05). There was direct relation between anesthesia time and recovery time (P < 0.05).Conclusion: Recovery time was prolonged in mental retard patients; it might be because of their need to prolonged treatment. Recovery side effects were similar in both groups. In both groups, increasing the anesthesia time made longer recovery time like the previous studies.
