Abstract

The purpose of study was to analyze the types of dental treatment and their frequencies in a charity dental clinic for the disabled people, and to figure out baseline data for developing oral health policies. This study was based on the 141 patient records who visited the charity free dental clinic between 2011 and 2016. Data were evaluated according to gender, types of disability, types of treatment, and the average number of caries. The number of dental treatment according to sex was 70% for men and 30% for women. Patients were classified according to types of disability. The most common type of disability is intellectual disabilities (53.9%). After that, developmental disabilities were 37.5%, and brain lesions were 8.51%. The highest frequency of dental treatment is preventive treatment (45.1%). The mean number of dental caries was higher than the number of initial dental caries in all types of disability. Preventive oral care education and regular oral screening are necessary for the oral health of patients with disabilities.
