Methods: A retrospective study was carried out in a private clinic in Cartagena (Murcia, Spain), with patients treated under deep sedation from 2006 to 2018, both years included, following the Strobe statement. Results: In this study with 230 children who were treated under deep sedation, 23.92% underwent two or more sedations. The mean time elapsed between the first and the second sedations was 21.64 \u00b1 15.87 months, and the main cause for reinterventions was the occurrence of new pathologies. Significantly more pulp treatments were performed in the first sedation than in the second (p = 0.013) and in the third (p = 0.007). Healthy children required fewer reinterventions under deep sedation than children with special needs (6.42% vs. 39.67%). Similarly, patients who followed the preventive program and required some type of dental treatment were reoperated fewer times than those who did not follow the preventive program (35.8 vs. 50%); than \u201ccooperative\u201d children as opposed to \u201cnon-cooperative\u201d (12.12% vs. 60.93%) and than patients with \u201cmotivated\u201d parents as opposed to those with \u201cnon-motivated\u201d parents (20.83% vs. 46.34%). A total of 50% of the children who participated in the preventive program became \u201ccooperative\u201d, and 100% were able to receive some treatment in the dental chair. Conclusions: Prevention programs, including motivational interviewing, are essential to improve children\u2019s behavior in the dental chair and reduce the need for reinterventions under general anesthesia or deep sedation. Although patients with special needs do require more sedation during their lifetime due to their inability to cooperate, these programs are necessary for the maintenance of oral health status and for the early diagnosis of caries lesions. Pediatric dentists should implement a quarterly preventive program because it improves patient collaboration. It is essential to achieve the motivation of parents in the oral care of their children.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13185366","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,10]],"date-time":"2024-09-10T11:01:42Z","timestamp":1725966102000},"page":"5366","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Do Preventive Programs Reduce the Need for New Sedations for the Treatment of Oral Pathologies in Healthy and Special Health Care Needs Children?"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-8046-3736","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Inmaculada","family":"G\u00f3mez-R\u00edos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Integrated Pediatric Dentistry, Faculty of Medicine, University of Murcia, 30008 Murcia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3199-6616","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Clara","family":"Serna-Mu\u00f1oz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Integrated Pediatric Dentistry, Faculty of Medicine, University of Murcia, 30008 Murcia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8621-3116","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amparo","family":"P\u00e9rez-Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Integrated Pediatric Dentistry, Faculty of Medicine, University of Murcia, 30008 Murcia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1523-9415","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yolanda","family":"Mart\u00ednez-Beneyto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Integrated Pediatric Dentistry, Faculty of Medicine, University of Murcia, 30008 Murcia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8039-7022","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gabriele","family":"Di Carlo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillo-Facial Sciences, University of Rome Sapienza, 00185 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9113-8416","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antonio Jos\u00e9","family":"Ortiz-Ruiz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Integrated Pediatric Dentistry, Faculty of Medicine, University of Murcia, 30008 Murcia, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"WHO (2022).
