- A study assessed the oral health status and behaviors of 100 children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) compared to 100 healthy children in Alexandria, Egypt, focusing on various health-related aspects.
- Results showed that children with ASD had significantly poorer oral hygiene and gum health, and they exhibited more negative or challenging behaviors during dental examinations.
- The findings suggest that children with ASD are at a greater risk for dental issues, face more difficulties accessing dental care, and highlight the need for tailored oral health education programs. *
