Abstract:
Increased numbers of dental students and practitioners are necessary to provide services for children with disabilities. In many instances, the technical aspects of treatment are complicated by the interaction between the dentists, patient and the family. The stresses and strains in a family with a child with disabilities can and do impact on both the office visit and in the home setting. A review of the literature is provided in an effort to familiarize practitioners with these realities.
