Sammanfattning
Patients with special and complex needs for oral care are a
poorly defined group of population. These patients face many
obstacles when trying to reach the goals described in The
Health Act concerning the manitemance of good oral health
throughout life.
In order to overcome these barriers one must use different approaches
such as treatment under sedation and/or general anaesthesia.
The barriers are not only to be found within the patient and their
impairment but also within the legislation designed to protect the
citizens. Furthermore, treatment can be complicated by lack of
transport opportunities, and most patients are dependent on
help and therefore need to be accompanied.
These barriers to dental treatment emphasize that the most important
and crusial element in the dental care of these patients
is daily oral care (instruction and aid to the patient and relevant
caretaking personnel) in order to prevent oral disease and thereby
minimizing the need for treatment.
