Oral Health Interventions and Quality of Life in Intellectual Disability: A Systematic Review
Main Article Content
Abstract
The concept of OHRQoL goes beyond traditional clinical measures to capture the subjective impact of oral conditions on an individual's quality of life. Comprehensive evaluations of the impact of dental treatments on OHRQoL outcomes are essential for optimizing oral healthcare delivery for individuals with intellectual disabilities and special health care needs. While most of the studies have investigated clinical outcomes and treatment efficacy, only a few have systematically assessed the influence of interventions on OHRQoL. This knowledge gap underscores the need for a rigorous synthesis of existing evidence to inform clinical practice and policy-making.
