Definition:

Dental surgeries were identified using Hospital Abstracts or Medical Services data sources. Note: the hospital abstract must indicate that the patient received general anesthesia or a dental anesthesia claim must have been made during the hospital stay or in the five days preceding or in the five days following the hospital stay. This includes both inpatient and day surgeries.

For more detailed information, including the International Classification of Disease (ICD) and Canadian Classification of Health Interventions (CCI) codes and other conditions used to define dental surgeries, please see the concept Dental Surgeries / Dental Extractions to Treat Severe-Early Childhood Caries (S-ECC) in Preschool Children.
