Brief Summary

Persons with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are characterized by impairments in social interactions, speech and communication, restricted patterns of behaviour, and unusual sensory sensitivities. There are not many studies available reporting oral health status, dental care needs and oral health care protocol for persons with an ASD.

Conditions

Autism Spectrum Disorder; Autism

Keywords

oral health; dental care; general anaesthesia; tooth loss

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Oral Health Status as measured by number of subjects with missing teeth

  The number of missing teeth (T) is quantified using the D (decayed) component of the DMFT Index. The DMFT Index quantifies the dental caries experience by the number of decayed (D), missing (M), and filled (F) teeth (T). The number of subjects presenting with missing teeth will be reported.

  3 months

• Oral Health Status as measured by untreated dental decay

  Untreated dental decay will be determined by either the presence of coronal caries quantified by using the D (decayed teeth) component of the DMF (decayed, missed, filled) Index. The DMF Index quantifies the dental caries experience by the number of decayed (D), missing (M), and filled (F) teeth. The higher proportion of D in DMFT score suggest higher caries activity and poorer epidemiological profile

  6months

• Oral health care delivery analysis

  Reporting the mean numbers of regular dental treatment visits and general anesthesia treatment in various subgroups of participants

  3 months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Tooth loss in institutionalised participants

  3 months

• Tooth loss in general anaesthesia

  6 months

Interventions
