British Association of Oral Surgeons BAOS Annual Scientific Conference 3 and 4 November 2022 "Back to Life – Back to Reality" at Assembly Rooms, George Street, Edinburgh Open Paper Abstracts.

B Results: b The most common modality of treatment was laser excision (87 patients) followed by scalpel excision (17 patients), surveillance (13 patients) and laser ablation (2 patients). Where patient's orthodontic treatment was completed at specialist orthodontic practice, the electronic referral system was reviewed to identify patients from the cohort who were referred for re-exposure of teeth bonded. B Outcomes: b In the COVID recovery period, only 17% of patients had dentoalveolar treatment within 6 months of assessment; all of which were under local anaesthetic (LA) or LA + intravenous sedation (IVS); 10% of patients had evidence of potential harm, including possible further root resorption and retaining decayed teeth. We present patient related outcome and experience data for those treated with sedation, as well as evidence the consequences a long waiting list poses to quality of life for paediatric patients.
