RESUMO
Between 1970 and 1975, 528 sessions of teeth extractions were carried out under general anaesthesia at the Ambroise Paré Hospital in Boulogne. The distribution was as follows: -70 multiple dental extractions in cardiac patients, mostly sent up by cardiology units outside the establishment. -458 multiple dental extractions for orthodontic treatment, germectomies, removal of included or supernumerary teeth, contra-indication or refusal of local anaesthetic. Since 1972, all patients for whom a surgical decision was considered were examined at the Anaesthetic out-patients and the advantages appear obvious. The type of premedication, the choice of the anesthetic technique were classical in the vast majority of cases and, in particular, intubation was carried out as a routine.
