Abstract

With advanced techniques for dental and oral soft tissue surgery in cats and dogs, the challenge for the anaesthetist is to maintain patient safety while ensuring effective control of pain. This chapter describes the analgesia options for patients undergoing dental or oral surgery, discusses specific concerns relating to different patient groups and potential complications, and outlines factors for veterinary surgeons (veterinarians) to consider in relation to anaesthesia for both standard and more advanced procedures.
