Patients unable to tolerate routine dental treatment in an ordinary dental setting may undergo a wide range of dental procedures under general anaesthesia. This report describes a practical protocol for providing comprehensive dental treatment under general anaesthesia. The importance and uniqueness of planning, treating and adopting safety measures is illustrated through the presentation of clinical cases of patients with mouth opening limitation. Complete treatment can thus be achieved in a single visit, thereby eliminating repetition of coping with anxiety associated with repeated treatment sessions.
