Abstract

The definition and application of disability are becoming more important as society becomes more complex. The precise criteria for the assessment and classification of disabilities are primarily focused on certain medical conditions with a lack of guidelines for dental conditions. This study provides an evaluation and comparison of the current tables available for the assessment of disabilities in the dental field with the aim of identifying areas to be improved.
