The aim of the study was to explore retrospectively the risks of ambulatory treatment under local anaesthesia during dental operations of elderly patients. Anaesthetic care was divided into control and therapeutical measures. Among the previous disorders the hypertension and its sequelae proved to be the main risk factors. The need of anaesthetic intervention doubled, when the time of operation exceeded 30 min. Due to good interdisciplinary cooperation, 99.3% of the operations took their proper course.
