This study provides a detailed examination of the clinical nursing strategies employed in the care of an adult patient recovering from cranial trauma, who presented with significant anxiety and speech disorders. The patient, who sustained head injuries in an accident, underwent multiple craniotomies and was unable to undergo routine outpatient dental procedures. In response, comprehensive dental treatment was administered under general anesthesia to address these challenges. We utilized a six-hand technique in oral surgery, which involved coordinated efforts among team members: one focused on operational tasks and another on monitoring surgical progress. This method has shown that full-mouth dental treatment under anesthesia can efficiently resolve a plethora of dental health issues in a single session, greatly improving the patient’s quality of life. Additionally, the six-hand technique has been proven to significantly enhance the efficacy of dental treatments, reducing the overall time required for surgeries under general anesthesia and minimizing patient discomfort. This approach not only streamlines the treatment process but also ensures high-quality care tailored to the specific needs of patients with complex medical histories.
