“…This is partly due to the difficulties encountered in the care of the oral cavity, which include structural barriers and motor difficulties and those associated with communication with the caregiver regarding the need for oral health care [ 4 ], in addition to the degree of dependence on caregivers for hygiene and good eating practices [ 3 ]. This dependence observed in persons with disabilities can often make their oral care take a back seat for parents or caregivers, as their overall health becomes a priority [ 9 , 10 ].…”

Background. People with disabilities tend to have greater oral health problems compared to those without disabilities. This may be due to barriers they come across in accessing dental services. Objectives. The objective of this systematic review was to provide a critical digest of the scientific literature concerning barriers and facilitators of access to oral health services for people with disabilities. Methods. The electronic databases PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS), and Brazilian Library of Dentistry (BBO) were searched using keywords relevant to the subject. The search was not restricted to specific languages or years of publication; all relevant studies were translated and reviewed. Results. Sixteen studies including 14 articles, a doctoral thesis, and a monograph were selected, and their quality was analysed using the Downs and Black assessment tool. Barriers to dental services were divided into physical or nonphysical based on the dentist’s perspective, as per the perception of parents/guardians or by the persons with disabilities. The barriers that emerged included the dentist’s lack of preparation to assist people with disabilities, structural problems of access to dental offices, communication difficulties, and lack of awareness regarding the need for dental treatment for the disabled person. Conclusion. It is concluded that people with disabilities continue to run into complex physical, behavioural, or multidimensional barriers in accessing dental services. Improved training of dentists for the care of this population is hereby emphasized. The legal framework enabling access to dental care for people with disabilities must also be respected in each country.

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of a novel training programme on dental hygiene students' knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about caring for individuals with disabilities.MethodsA mixed methods approach was used. Students from five dental hygiene programmes based at community colleges completed a two‐hour didactic training session to supplement their existing special care dentistry coursework. Students completed an original 14‐item pretest and posttest before and after the training that assessed attitudes and beliefs, and two validated posttests that assessed knowledge. Afterwards, students completed a clinical rotation in an advanced care dental clinic at a local academic institution, gaining hands‐on experience with equipment and patient treatment. Descriptive statistics were used to report training scores, types of services rendered, and modifications to treatment. Student comments about their experiences were assessed using thematic analysis.ResultsTwo hundred and ninety‐four students completed didactic training, and 261 completed clinical rotations. Posttest scores indicated positive improvements in knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs. All students provided direct patient care. Sixty‐nine percent treated patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities; 75% placed silver diamine fluoride or fluoride varnish. Altered patient positioning was used by 70.5%. Most students (95.4%) reported that their experience positively changed their attitudes towards caring for patients with disabilities in the future. Eight themes emerged, notably increased comfort and confidence, a willingness and desire to treat patients, the acquisition of new skills, and clinician behaviours of empathy and compassion towards others.ConclusionTraining can help prepare dental hygiene students with the confidence and skills to address the oral health needs of individuals with disabilities.

Με τη συγκεκριμένη έρευνα, επιχειρείται μία σχοινοτενής διερεύνηση και πραγμάτευση της συμπεριφοράς των ατόμων με αναπηρία και των φροντιστών τους (μαθητών, γονέων, κηδεμόνων, εκπαιδευτικών) απέναντι στην προτεινόμενη οδοντιατρική θεραπεία. Εν προκειμένω, καθίσταται μία προσπάθεια ιχνηλάτησης και κατανόησης των μεταβλητών, που επενεργούν καταλυτικά στη στάση και συμπεριφορά των ατόμων με αναπηρία και των φροντιστών τους. Στην εμπειρική έρευνα που διεξήχθη τα σχολικά έτη 2018-2019 και 2019-2020 έλαβαν μέρος εκατόν ενενήντα επτά (197) άτομα (μαθητές, γονείς, κηδεμόνες, νηπιαγωγοί, δάσκαλοι, καθηγητές) που αποτελούν μέλη λειτουργίας των ΣΜΕΑΕ («Ειδικά Νηπιαγωγεία, Ειδικά Δημοτικά, Ειδικά Γυμνάσια και Λύκεια και Ε.Ε.Ε.Ε.Κ. (Εργαστήρια Ειδικής Επαγγελματικής Εκπαίδευσης και Κατάρτισης»). Ως εργαλείο έρευνας χρησιμοποιήθηκε το ερωτηματολόγιο, το οποίο σχεδιάστηκε, συντάχθηκε και εκπονήθηκε από τον ερευνητή στη λογική αντίστοιχων διεθνών (Oral Health Impact Profile, Child Oral Health Quality of Life, Parental-Caregiver Perceptions Questionnaires, Oral Health Index) που δίνονται προς συμπλήρωση στους φροντιστές των ατόμων με αναπηρία, όταν καταφεύγουν στις οδοντιατρικές μονάδες και κλινικές, προκειμένου να εξεταστούν ώστε να ακολουθήσουν την προτεινόμενη οδοντιατρική θεραπεία. Τα εμπειρικά ευρήματα και εκβάσεις, καταληκτικά, κατάδειξαν ότι η κακή κατάσταση της στοματικής κοιλότητας των ατόμων με αναπηρία, επηρεάζει ελάχιστα τη γνωστική τους απόδοση, τον ύπνο τους, τη μάσηση των τροφών και το συναισθηματικό και συμπεριφορικό τους προφίλ κατά τη διάρκεια της σχολικής τους καθημερινότητας και ζωής.
