No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The Covid-19 outbreak has caused families and individuals to change their life routines and eating habits, and has affected their psychology, especially for children with autism, due to the change in their routines. These psychological changes may trigger the self-harming behavior that is very common in children with autism.

Dental trauma, a common problem in children and adolescents, can also be seen in individuals who need special care such as autism.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the susceptibility of children with autism to orofacial trauma during the pandemic period and compare them with the pre-pandemic period and the healthy group, as well as to question the lifestyle, nutritional habits, mood changes and oral health behaviors that may be related to the risk of trauma.
