No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Children, aged 5-12, with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who have difficulty with dental visits and daily oral hygiene will complete 3 dental assessments at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. The dental environment and dental procedures will be altered based on the work of Cermak. In between the baseline and 3 months appointments, they will receive 8 weeks of occupational therapy targeting desensitization around dental activities and oral hygiene training. Post testing will assess the number of caries and overall oral health, the number of dental activities able to be accomplished without sedation, and the change in burden of caregivers to achieve oral hygiene.
