Dental treatment of epilepsy patients is often challenging and requires careful consideration of their sudden movements. Epilepsy patients often require sedation (e.g., nitrous oxide or intravenous sedation) to receive their required dental treatments. Rolandic epilepsy (RE) is a specific type of epilepsy in children with certain electroencephalogram (EEG) abnormalities and motor focal seizures with no signs of neurological deficits. This report discusses a case of an RE patient who was treated comprehensively under local anesthesia with careful evaluation of the patient's medical conditions.
