Sumario:Aim: The aim of this article is to evaluate the perceived outcomes, parental satisfaction, and oral health-related quality of life after full mouth rehabilitation under general anesthesia for children with early childhood caries. Materials and methods: A total of 200 children requiring full-mouth rehabilitation under general anesthesia for the management of early childhood caries were recruited for the study. Perceived outcomes, oral health-related quality of life, and parental satisfaction were evaluated at the follow-up visit after six months. Results: All participants reported back for the follow-up visit after six months. Oral health-related quality of life after full-mouth rehabilitation showed statistically significant improvement at follow-up (P <0.001); 97.5% of the parents were satisfied with the treatment. Perceived outcomes were found to be satisfactory, and a significant improvement (P <0.001) was seen after treatment. Conclusion: The perceived outcomes of participating parents were met. Significant improvement in oral health was seen after full-mouth rehabilitation under general anesthesia. Parental satisfaction was found to be high at the follow-up visit after six months. Parents found the improvement in the oral and general health of their child to be significant.
