ABSTRACT
There is no scientific evidence that proves that general anesthesia and sedation are risky per se to patients health or life. Fear and personal preferences are the reasons for the rejection non of these two magnificent conduct management tools. The success of them in dental practice is based in a right and complete evaluation medical, including the actual health state of the patient, and dental with a complete treatment plan, and anesthesic one with the suggested anesthesic technique. The associated factors are very important, and include the type of procedures, and the patients anxiety and conduct evaluation.
