RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: People with special health care needs in long-term care settings have difficulty accessing a traditional dental office. The goal of the authors was to assess initial treatment decision concordance between dentists conducting traditional in-person examinations using mobile equipment and additional dentists conducting examinations using asynchronous teledentistry technology. METHODS: Six dentists from Access Dental Care, a North Carolina mobile dentistry nonprofit, saw new patients on-site at 12 participating facilities or asynchronously off-site with electronic dental records, radiographs, and intraoral images, all captured by an on-site dental hygienist. Off-site dentists were masked to other dentists' treatment need decisions; 3 through 5 off-site examinations were conducted for each on-site examination. Demographic and binary treatment need category data were collected. For the 3 most prevalent treatment types needed (surgery, restorative, and new removable denture), the authors calculated the percentage agreement and κ statistics with bootstrapped CIs (1,000 replicates). RESULTS: The 100 enrolled patients included 47 from nursing homes, 45 from Programs of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly, and 8 from group homes for those with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Mean (SD) age was 73.9 (16.5) years. Among dentate participants, the percentage agreement and bootstrapped κ (95% CI) were 87% and 0.74 (0.70 to 0.78) for surgery and 78% and 0.54 (0.50 to 0.58) for restorative needs, respectively, and among dentate and edentulous participants, they were 94% and 0.78 (0.74 to 0.83), respectively, for new removable dentures. CONCLUSIONS: The authors assessed the initial dental treatment decision concordance between on-site dentists conducting in-person examinations with a mobile oral health care delivery model and off-site dentists conducting examinations with asynchronous dentistry. Concordance was substantial for surgery and removable denture treatment decisions and moderate for restorative needs. Patient characteristics and facility type were not significant factors in the levels of examiner agreement. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: This evidence supports teledentistry use for patients with special health care needs and could help improve their access to oral health care.

RESUMEN Introducción: Existen diversos indicadores y controversias en la prevalencia de caries en niños con y sin discapacidad. Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia de lesiones de caries cavitadas y no cavitadas mediante el índice CPO-D/ceo-d y el registro de lesión de mancha blanca o lesión no cavitada activa en niños con y sin discapacidad de 0-12 años atendidos en el Centro Odontológico de la Universidad de San Martín de Porres entre los años 2010-2017, Lima, Perú. Métodos: Diseño observacional, transversal y retrospectivo. Población conformada por niños atendidos en la Especialidad de Odontopediatría del durante los años 2010-2017. Se identificaron 71 pacientes: 31 sin discapacidad y 40 con discapacidad. Se revisó el odontograma de la historia clínica, índice CPO-D/ceo-d y lesiones no cavitadas activas para determinar la presencia de caries dental. Resultados: En dentición decidua en niños sin discapacidad, el promedio del total de piezas afectadas (ceo-d + lesiones no cavitadas activas) fue de 15,83 y en los niños con discapacidad fue 11,64; en dientes deciduos de la dentición mixta en niños sin discapacidad se encontró un total de ceo-d de 7,86 y en niños con discapacidad presentaron un ceo-d de 8,20; en dientes permanentes de la dentición mixta en niños sin discapacidad se evidenció un CPO-D de 3,29 y en niños con discapacidad presentaron un CPO-D de 2,27. Solo se halló diferencia estadísticamente significativa del total de piezas afectadas, en dentición decidua de niños con y sin discapacidad (p = 0,013). Conclusiones: Los niños con discapacidad presentaron solo una mayor prevalencia de lesiones de caries cavitadas y no cavitadas en dientes deciduos de la dentición mixta, en contraste con los niños sin discapacidad (sin diferencia estadísticamente significativa). En el resto de las denticiones (decidua y permanente de la mixta) la prevalencia de lesiones de caries en pacientes con discapacidad fue menor, con diferencias estadísticamente significativas(AU)
ABSTRACT Introduction: There are various indicators of and controversies about the prevalence of dental caries in children with and without disabilities. Objective: Determine the prevalence of cavitated and uncavitated carious lesions based on the CPO-D/ceo-d index and the white spot lesion or active uncavitated lesion registry in children with and without disabilities aged 0-12 years attending the Dental Care Center at San Martín de Porres University in the period 2010-2017. Methods: A cross-sectional observational retrospective study was conducted of a population composed of the children attending the pediatric dental care service in the period 2010-2017. Seventy-one patients were identified: 31 without disabilities and 40 with disabilities. A review was done of the dental chart in the medical record, the CPO-D/ceo-d index and active uncavitated lesions to determine the presence of dental caries. Results: Average total affected deciduous teeth (ceo-d + active uncavitated lesions) was 15.83 in children without disabilities and 11.64 in children with disabilities; in mixed dentition deciduous teeth total ceo-d was 7.86 in children without disabilities and 8.20 in children with disabilities; in mixed dentition permanent teeth CPO-D was 3.29 in children without disabilities and 2.27 in children with disabilities. A statistically significant difference in the total affected teeth was only found in deciduous dentition of children with and without disabilities (p = 0.013). Conclusions: Children with disabilities only showed a greater prevalence of cavitated and uncavitated carious lesions in mixed dentition deciduous teeth, in contrast with children without disabilities (not a statistically significant difference). In the remaining dentitions (mixed deciduous and permanent) prevalence of carious lesions was lower in patients with disabilities, with statistically significant differences(AU)

The purpose of this study was to survey parental satisfaction with ambulatory anesthesia during dental treatment in disabled patients. Factors associated with parental preference for general anesthesia during future dental treatment in such patients were also investigated. A questionnaire was mailed to the parents of 181 disabled individuals who underwent dental treatment under ambulatory anesthesia at Tokyo Dental College Suidobashi Hospital between 2012 and 2016. A total of 71 responses were received (39.2%). The mean patient age was 18 years, and disabilities included autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disability, cerebral palsy, and epilepsy. The items surveyed included dental treatment details, number of times patients received general anesthesia, type of anesthetic used, anesthesia induction method, durations of treatment and anesthesia, and the presence or absence of intraoperative or postoperative complications. Questionnaire items queried problems related to dental care, anesthesia history, preoperative anxiety, length of fasting period, induction of general anesthesia, nursing and hospital room environment, postoperative anxiety, overall evaluation, and whether the parent would prefer general anesthesia during future dental treatment. The patients were divided into 2 groups: those whose parents preferred general anesthesia during future dental treatment and those whose parents did not. The results revealed that, where disabled individuals had previously received general anesthesia during dental treatment, the parents were more likely to prefer general anesthesia during future dental treatment.

AIMS: This was a pilot study assessing the impact of a sensory adapted dental environment (SADE) on children with developmental disabilities (DD) receiving routine dental care. METHODS: A crossover study of 22 children with DD, aged 6 through 21, was conducted at a University Pediatric Dental clinic. Each participant was randomized to a sequence of two dental cleanings on a 3- to 4-month recall schedule, one with a regular dental environment (RDE) and one with SADE. Outcomes included physiological measures (heart rate and oxygen saturation) and cooperation (Frankl scores). RESULTS: Study subjects completed 36 visits. None of the physiological measures differed at either time point between the two treatment settings. The Frankl scores were significantly higher with SADE setting than RDE (P = 0.0368). Forty-six percent of parents strongly agreed that they would prefer the SADE for their child's next visit. CONCLUSION: SADE may be associated with improved behavior in children with DD.

AIM: The aim of the present study was to compare the dental characteristics and the oral health care needs of patients with Cerebral Paralysis (CP) and Down Syndrome (DS). MATERIALS AND METHODS: The selected sample consisted of 28 patients of both sexes between 10 and 20 years of age. STUDY DESIGN: observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study. STATISTICS: The statistical analysis was carried out with the SPSS 19.0 program for Windows. The frequency distribution and contingency tables were analysed, as was interobserver concordance. non mi è chiaro cosa intendono qui. RESULTS: Fifty percent of the patients with CP presented dental traumas, compared to 15% of the patients with DS. Dental prophylaxis was the most prevalent treatment in both groups (77% in CP compared to 86.7% in DS). The most frequent habit was oral breathing, which was found in 69.2% of the patients with CP and 80% of those with DS. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with CP and DS require early dental care in order to prevent and limit the severity of the pathologies observed.

Myelomeningocele (MMC) is a congenital malformation that occurs in the embryonic period, characterized by failure in closure of the caudal portion of the neural tube during central nervous system formation. Alterations and complications can be associated with this condition, such as hydrocephalus, neurogenic bladder, orthopedic problems, and motor and cognitive impairment. This patients with MMC also have predisposition to develop latex allergy and high caries risk and activity due to deficient oral hygiene, fermentable carbon hydrate-rich diet and prolonged use of sugar-containing oral medications. This paper reports the oral findings and dental treatment in a 15-year-old female patient diagnosed with MMC and describes the strategies used to improve dental treatment conditions and reduce the impact of associated risks to her health. The measures and precautions adopted in this case could be useful to reduce the barriers for patients with the same condition to access oral health care: regular visits to the dentist, initiating as early as possible; frequent reinforcement of oral homecare instructions and diet counseling; minor adaptions to the dental chair and dental office to improve ease of access due to patients' mobility problems; prevention of latex-related allergic reactions; reduction of gag reflex during dental procedures.

OBJECTIVE: To report frequency and predictors of reported pharmacological behaviour support use among older adults with intellectual disabilities (ID) accessing dental care in Ireland. METHODS: Data from a nationally representative cross-sectional survey of adults with ID over 40 years of age allowed identification of the reported frequency of pharmacological behaviour support use. Predictors of pharmacological support were identified using multiple logistic regression. RESULTS: Most older adults with ID did not report the use of any pharmacological support to receive dental care: only 0.9% reported use of inhalation sedation; 2.4% intravenous (IV) sedation; 8.6% general anaesthesia (GA); and 16.0% oral sedation. Participants reporting challenging behaviour (OR = 1.9, 95% CI = 1.3-2.9), significant difficulty speaking (OR = 3.0, 95% CI = 1.8-4.8) and obvious oral problems (OR = 2.5, 95% CI = 1.6-4.1) had greater odds of reporting pharmacological, that is, GA or conscious sedation (CS), rather than nonpharmacological supports for dental care, compared to those who were not. CONCLUSIONS: People with ID report a diverse range of support use, with many using GA or CS, particularly oral sedation, for dental treatment. This highlights a need for training and governance for dentists who provide this care. Patients who present with challenging behaviour, oral problems and, interestingly, difficulty with expressive communication are more likely to report use of pharmacological supports. The above has implications for dental service design and delivery for this population.

En el planeta hay 100 millones de personas con alguna discapacidad yen México es el 6.2 por ciento de la población total. Estas personas son altamente vulnerables porque el entorno donde se desenvuelven no ofrece las condiciones para favorecer su integración y participación social, como el acceso a servicios médicos. De acuerdo con la Organización Mundialde la Salud, las personas con discapacidad son las menos atendidas en los Servicios Odontológicos, principalmente por inexperiencia del profesionista sobre el trato a estas personas, o bien por desconocimiento de los familiares-cuidadores de la importancia de mantener una boca sana. Las personas con discapacidad intelectual (PDI) constituyen un retopara el odontólogo, quien tiene que capacitarse para diseñar estrategiaspara su atención, ya que los tratamientos para este tipo de pacientes son específicos y poco convencionales. Adicionalmente conviene tomar precauciones en su atención dental, debido a que los PDI consumen diversos medicamentos, por lo que el odontólogo debe asegurarsecon otros especialistas para su manejo. Un punto medular sobre las características de la atención odontológica es que ésta tiene que generar confianza y enfrentar con paciencia y destreza a un PDI que cumpla con las expectativas del usuario, trato digno, calidez y confianza centrada en la prevención como principal criterio en la intervención odontológica, sobre todo en la supervisión de la higiene por parte de los familiares. Actualmente se habla de la relación médico-paciente participativa donde se define lo que corresponde a cada persona involucrada en el cuidado de la PDI, sin olvidar que esta atención conviene que sea en equipo. Así, ante este contexto, los odontólogos tendrían que formarseen el cuidado de la salud de las PDI quienes son sujetos de derecho,por tanto tienen que ser atendidos, respetados y tratados con dignidad.
On the planet, there are 100 million people with some disability andin Mexico; it is 6.2% of the total population. These people are highly vulnerable because the environment where they operate does not offer the conditions to favor their integration and social participation, such as access to medical services. According to the World Health Organization, people with disabilities are the least attended in the dental services, mainly because of the inexperience of the professional about the treatment of these people, or because the family/caregivers do notknow about the importance of maintaining a healthy mouth. People with intellectual disabilities (PIDs) are a challenge for the dentist,who has to be trained to design strategies for their care since the treatments for these types of patients are specific and unconventional.In addition, precautions should be taken in dental care, because PIDsconsume different medications, so the dentist must be sure with other specialists to handle them. A central point about the characteristicsof dental care is that it has to generate trust and face with patience and dexterity a PDIs that meets user expectations, dignified treatment, warmth, and confidence focused on prevention as the main criterion inthe intervention dental care, especially in the supervision of the hygieneby the relatives. At the moment we are talking about the participative doctor-patient relationship where it is defined that corresponds to eachperson involved in the care of the PDIs, without forgetting that this careshould be in a team. Thus in this context dentists should be trained inthe health care of the IDPs who are subjects of law, therefore have tobe attended, respected and treated with dignity.

Trisomy 13 is a chromosomal disorder that occurs in complete or partial mosaic forms. It is characterized by central apnea, mental retardation, seizure and congenital heart disease. The survival of the patients with trisomy 13 is the majority dying before one month. Trisomy 13 is the worst life prognosis among all trisomy syndromes. It is reported the cause of death is central apnea. Special needs patients with mental retardation are recognized to have poorer oral health condition. Oral health related quality of life reflects daily activity and well-being. Dental treatment under general anesthesia is sometimes an option for such patients. This patient had received ventricular septal defect closure surgery at 2-year-old. In addition, he had mental retardation and seizure. Dental treatment had been completed without any cerebral and cardiovascular events under non-invasive monitoring with not only cardiac electric velocimetry, but also epileptogenic activity. In addition, postoperative respiratory condition was maintained stable in room air.

CONTEXT: Oral health care for children with special needs remains largely unmet. It is important that we should focus on preventive strategies for special children to help curtail and prevent oral diseases. AIM: This study aimed to assess the effect of visual pedagogy and probiotic mouth rinse on the periodontal health of hearing impaired children. MATERIALS AND METHODOLOGY: The study cohort consisted of twenty children with hearing impairment (HI) and 20 age-matched healthy children. The gingival index (GI), plaque index (PI), and salivary pH for all children were assessed at baseline, 15 days after oral hygiene training using visual pedagogy, 15 days after probiotic mouth rinse introduction, and at the end of the test period, i.e., 2 months after discontinuing probiotics. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Comparison of means was carried out using the Student's t-test. Intragroup parameters were assessed using the one-way ANOVA, followed by the post hoc Scheffe test. Value for statistical significance was fixed at 0.05. RESULTS: The GI and PI scores did not improve significantly after oral hygiene training in either of the two groups. The use of probiotic mouth rinse significantly reduced GI scores (<0.01) and PI scores (<0.01) and increased salivary pH above the critical pH in both groups. CONCLUSION: The use of visual pedagogy coupled with probiotic mouth rinsing may improve the periodontal status of children with HI and should be explored as a preventive procedure for children with special health-care needs.

Introducción: la hipoacusia es la disminución de la agudeza auditiva o de la capacidad para captar el sonido; esta puede ser neurosensorial, conductiva o mixta. La hipoacusia neurosensorial resulta de alteraciones en el oído interno, nervio auditivo o en los núcleos auditivos del tronco cerebral. El manejo de estos pacientes requiere disposición, conocimientos y calidez para el correcto desarrollo de la atención estomatológica. Objetivo: reportar el manejo odontológico de un paciente con hipoacusia neurosensorial profunda bilateral. Presentación del caso: paciente femenino de 7 años y 10 meses de edad con diagnóstico de hipoacusia neurosensorial profunda bilateral, quien acude a consulta por presentar dolor. A la inspección física, paciente mesofacial, perfil convexo. Intraoralmente se observan tejidos blandos clínicamente sanos, alteraciones de número y posición, caries moderada e higiene deficiente. Durante la inspección clínica la paciente se mostró poco cooperadora (Frankl II). El plan de tratamiento consistió en prevención, operatoria, ortopedia y cirugía. Para el manejo del paciente se incluyó un lenguaje de señas básico con uso de careta y sin cubreboca, modelado con otros pacientes. Se modificó la técnica decir, mostrar y hacer por mostrar/oler, tocar y hacer. Conclusiones: el odontopediatra debe tener las competencias necesarias para la atención integral de pacientes con capacidades diferentes. El manejo de la conducta y el cuidado multidisciplinario del paciente en edades tempranas es fundamental para el éxito del tratamiento. En el caso clínico que se presenta se resalta la efectividad del manejo conductual modificado, lo cual incrementó la posibilidad de éxito de la rehabilitación dental del paciente, así como de su seguimiento(AU)
Introduction: hearing loss is reduced auditory acuity or a decrease in the ability to perceive sound. It may be sensorineural, conductive or mixed. Sensorineural hearing loss results from alterations in the inner ear, the auditory nerve or the auditory brainstem nuclei. Dental management of these patients requires willingness, knowledge and warmth on the part of the dental practitioner. Objective: report the dental management of a patient with bilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss. Case presentation: a female patient aged 7 years and 10 months diagnosed with bilateral profound sensorineural hearing loss attends consultation for dental pain. At physical inspection, it is observed that the patient is mesofacial with a convex profile. Intraoral examination found clinically healthy soft tissue, tooth alterations in number and position, moderate decay and poor hygiene. During clinical inspection, the patient was uncooperative (Frankl II). Treatment consisted in prevention, restoration, orthopedics and surgery. Management of the patient included use of basic sign language and a mask without the practitioner wearing a facemask, and modeling with other patients. The technique of say, show and do was replaced by show / smell, touch and do. Conclusions: pediatric dentists should have the skills required for the comprehensive care of patients with different capabilities. Behavior management and multidisciplinary care of very young patients is essential for a successful treatment. The clinical case herein presented highlights the effectiveness of modified behavior management, which increased the chances of success in the patient's dental rehabilitation and follow-up(AU)

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: We analyzed and retrospectively compared patients with and without intellectual disability (ID) who underwent oral surgery under general anesthesia at Istanbul University, Faculty of Dentistry, Department of General Anesthesia, between October 2012 and June 2013 with regard to the following categories: Demographic features, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification, Mallampati score, type of anesthetic drug used during the operation, type of intubation used, any difficulties with tracheal intubation, presence of systemic diseases, and recovery times after ending general anesthesia. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 348 patients were selected from the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery and the Department of Pedodontics who underwent surgery with general anesthesia. Medical histories of all patients were taken, and their electrocardiography, chest X-rays, complete blood count, and blood clotting tests were checked during a preoperative assessment. Mallampati evaluations were also performed. Patients were grouped into ASA I, II, or III according to the ASA classification and were treated under general anesthesia. RESULTS: There was no significant difference between normal and intellectually disabled patients in terms of gender, Mallampati scores, intubation difficulties, mean anesthetic period, time to discharge, or postoperative nausea and vomiting. Epilepsy and genetic diseases in intellectually disabled patients were significantly more common than in non-ID (NID) patients. However, the frequency of diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in NID patients was significantly higher than in the intellectually disabled patients. CONCLUSION: Dental treatment of intellectually disabled patients under general anesthesia can be performed just as safely as that with NID patients.

BACKGROUND: The authors evaluated the effectiveness of a dental desensitization program for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and determined characteristics associated with a successful dental examination. METHODS: The authors performed a retrospective review of clinical behavioral data and previsit questionnaires for 168 children with ASD who attended a university-based dental desensitization program. Data elements included demographic, treatment, and behavioral characteristics. The primary outcome was receiving a minimal threshold examination (MTE) while seated in a dental chair. RESULTS: An MTE was achieved for 77.4% of all children within 1 to 2 visits and 87.5% in 5 visits or less. Several factors predicted a successful dental examination: ability to be involved in group activities (relative risk [RR], 1.18; P = .02), ability to communicate verbally (RR, 1.17; P < .01), understanding of most language (RR, 1.14; P = .02), moderate versus severe caregiver-rated ASD severity (RR, 1.24; P = .04), and ability to dress self (RR, 1.27; P = .04). CONCLUSIONS: Desensitization was effective in achieving an MTE for most children. Those with characteristics consistent of a milder presentation of ASD were more likely to be successful. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: Desensitization can be a successful approach to providing dental care for children with ASD.

For a very severely mentally disabled, deaf and blind man, it was always very difficult to carry out dental check-ups, diagnosis and treatment, even with pharmacologic support. The man cannot communicate pain. When caries and calculus were diagnosed, the man was treated under general anaesthesia. During this treatment session he was also found to have severe periodontal disease and peri-apical problems. The legal representative of the patient was unavailable for consultation on changes to the pre-prepared preliminary treatment plan. This created a dilemma for the dental treatment team. This case study was presented during the conference 'State of the art' on March 17, 2017, that was organised by the Society for the Promotion of Dental Health Care for People with Disabilities (VBTGG). In this second part of the case, the treatment that was ultimately chosen is described, considered and discussed.
