Usefulness of Preoperative Oral Screening for Safe Anesthesia Management
Providing dental interventions by dentists for all patients scheduled for anesthesia is not possible owing to human resource and time constraints. Although some issues persist, such as the inability to inspect diagnostic images and a lack of clarity regarding lesions within the jawbone, our findings suggest that preoperative oral screening plays an important role in ensuring safe anesthesia management.
