Oral care interventions for autistic individuals: A systematic review / Lucía I FLORÍNDEZ in Autism, 29-1 (January 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 29-1 (January 2025) . - p.41-52 Titre : Oral care interventions for autistic individuals: A systematic review Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Lucía I FLORÍNDEZ, Auteur ; Dominique H COMO, Auteur ; Evelyn LAW, Auteur ; Christine F TRAN, Auteur ; Robert JOHNSON, Auteur ; José C POLIDO, Auteur ; Sharon A CERMAK, Auteur ; Leah I STEIN DUKER, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.41-52 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism  dental  oral care  oral health  systematic review Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Oral care-related challenges are well documented in the autistic community. This review examined interventions designed to improve oral health in autistic individuals across the lifespan. Through a systematic process, 36 studies were identified which focused on improving home-based oral care skills and routines, and reducing fear, anxiety, and/or negative behaviors in the dental clinic. Studies incorporated preparatory interventions to support home-based hygiene activities or improve an approaching dental encounter (n = 29), most often using visual aids, and/or strategies to manage behavioral difficulties exhibited in the dental office (n = 17). Some studies used both approaches (n = 10), combining visual aids prior to a visit with behavior management in the dental office. Using an evidence-based rubric, methodological quality of most articles was only "adequate" (n = 8) or "weak" (n = 23). Findings provide preliminary support for preparatory home-based visual interventions to improve toothbrushing and/or ready patients for dental visits, and distraction or sensory-reducing interventions to improve experiences in the dental clinic. Only one study purposefully recruited autistic adults and no studies included intervention elements tailored to race/ethnicity, culture, and/or socioeconomic status. This review highlights the need for high-quality studies investigating the impact of oral care-related interventions for autistic individuals and identifies a gap in interventions for autistic adults and those from minoritized populations.Lay abstractOral care-related challenges are well documented in the autistic community; dental care remains one of the most prevalent unmet health needs among autistic individuals. This review examined interventions designed to improve oral health in autistic individuals from children and adult populations. Through a systematic process, 36 studies were identified. These studies focused on improving home-based oral care skills and routines and reducing fear, anxiety, and/or negative behaviors in the dental clinic. Studies incorporated different types of techniques for facilitating oral care practice, including preparatory interventions to support home-based hygiene activities or improve an approaching dental encounter (n = 29), most often using visual aids, and/or strategies to manage behavioral difficulties exhibited in the dental office (n = 17). Some studies used both approaches (n = 10), combining visual aids prior to a visit with behavior management. Using an evidence-based rubric, we reviewed the methodological quality of the studies and found that most were only "adequate" (n = 8) or "weak" (n = 23) in reporting their evidence. This review has two key findings: (1) there is support for preparatory home-based visual interventions to improve toothbrushing and/or ready patients for dental visits; and (2) distraction or sensory-reducing interventions may also improve experiences in the dental clinic. Only one study purposefully recruited autistic adults, and no studies included intervention elements tailored to race/ethnicity, culture, and/or socioeconomic status. This review highlights the need for more studies investigating the impact of oral care-related interventions for autistic individuals of all ages and identifies a gap in interventions for autistic adults and those from minoritized populations.

A Dental Communication Board as an Oral Care Tool for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder / Magandhree NAIDOO in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 50-11 (November 2020)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 50-11 (November 2020) . - p.3831-3843 Titre : A Dental Communication Board as an Oral Care Tool for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Magandhree NAIDOO, Auteur ; Shenuka SINGH, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.3831-3843 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autism  Communication  Dental terms  Graphics  Oral care  Picture communication symbols Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) sometimes display an inability for information sharing through functional verbal communication. This may interfere with professional oral care. These children tend to process visual information more efficiently than auditory information. Picture schedules can briefly suffice as visual cues serving a vital function in helping children with ASD to function in a particular setting such as an oral care environment. A visual communication implement such as a dental communication board was developed in this study to allow for a facilitated communication process between the patient with ASD and the oral care professional. This study entailed two main phases, namely the selection of symbols for the construction of a dental communication board and the small scale testing of the board in a clinical setting. This study incorporated a combination of a quantitative non-experimental descriptive survey combined with a concurrent mixed method survey design which retrieved data for both close-ended and open-ended questions from the same respondent. A quantitative survey questionnaire at a structured dental seminar presentation was employed for the first phase, and a combination of a quantitative and qualitative questionnaire was employed for the second phase of this study. Documented responses were collated and analyzed using frequency and thematic analysis. The most frequently selected symbols were retrieved after a frequency analysis and displayed on a color coded background to distinguish the various categories on the dental communication board. The thematic analysis resulted in the emergence of three main themes, namely the strengths of the board; weakness of the board and suggestions. This study anticipates the incorporation of a dental communication board as a visual mode using graphic symbols to augment expressive and receptive language in an oral care environment to facilitate professional oral care for children with ASD.

The purpose of this study was to provide an increased understanding of these challenges experienced during oral care in the dental office by children with ASD. Method This study was part of a larger mixed methods design and builds on quantitative results from a survey of parents of children with ASD ages 2–18 in which parents reported difficulties with access to care, sensory processing, and uncooperative behaviors. For this study, we conducted two, three hour, focus groups of parents of male children with ASD age 5–18 years in order to explore the survey results in greater depth. Focus group transcripts were analyzed using a template coding approach based on the three domains of office-based oral care challenges identified in the first phase (survey). Results Several related themes emerged including: (1) Access: “Difficult to find the right dentist”, (2) Sensory sensitivities: “All the sensory devices just make him so uncomfortable”, (3) Restraint: “It looked like they were torturing him”, and (4) Drugs: “A mixed bag”. Conclusions The qualitative findings from this study both confirmed our previous survey findings and expanded upon them. These findings can help professionals better understand the challenges experienced by children with ASD and their parents as well as help identify priorities for planning efforts to address the oral health-related needs of this population.

Parental function in the dental management of pediatric patients with autistic spectrum disorder: A systematic review / Guillermo CANO-VERDUGO ; Angie Nathaly VERDUGO-ROJAS ; Norma CRUZ-FIERRO in Research in Autism, 123 (May 2025)  

Public ISBD [article]  inResearch in Autism > 123 (May 2025) . - 202558 Titre : Parental function in the dental management of pediatric patients with autistic spectrum disorder: A systematic review Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Guillermo CANO-VERDUGO, Auteur ; Angie Nathaly VERDUGO-ROJAS, Auteur ; Norma CRUZ-FIERRO, Auteur Article en page(s) : 202558 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autistic disorder  Systematic review  Parenting  Dental care  oral care Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Parental function in dentistry refers to the decisions made by parents regarding care, development, and attention to their children's oral health. Pediatric patients with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often present motor and cognitive disorders, communication difficulties, fear, anxiety, and obsessive resistance to change, which can interfere with proper dental treatment. With 1 in 36 children diagnosed with ASD in the United States, international health organizations recommend parental involvement in the comprehensive care of this population. Despite this, there is a lack of comprehensive synthesis of specific recommendations directed at parents in the dental context. Therefore, this systematic review (PROSPERO registration number CRD42023476265) critically examines available evidence to highlight the role of parents in the dental care of pediatric patients with ASD and improve their oral health. Thirteen studies were included, revealing recommendations across various parental domains, including physical care, guidance and discipline, emotional support, education, role modeling, socialization, sense of identity, and safety and protection. The main findings suggest that parents should familiarize children with dental visits through structured routines, social stories, and sensory-friendly materials. Assisted brushing and fluoride application are essential. Techniques like sedation, motivational interviewing, and educational programs enhance cooperation and reduce anxiety, while visual cues and dietary guidance support oral care. While providing valuable insights, the review also highlights limitations in the quantity and quality of available evidence, emphasizing the need for further research and tailored interventions to enhance parental involvement in the dental management of pediatric patients with ASD.
