Evaluation of oral health and dental hygiene habits in adolescents with intellectual and developmental disabilities: a longitudinal pilot study.
The findings indicate a high prevalence of dental caries, enamel defects, and erosive tooth wear among adolescents with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Despite poor baseline oral hygiene practices, regular follow-ups and oral hygiene education significantly improved oral hygiene habits and outcomes.
