Aims: This evaluation aimed to review the IV sedation service for patients with profound acquired brain injury within the dental department at the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability.

- The study explores the spatial accessibility of dental clinics in the U.S., revealing that a significant number of people, including specific racial and ethnic groups, lack access to dental care within a 30-minute drive.
- The analysis, based on data from over 205,000 active dentists, identifies about 1.7 million individuals without nearby dental services and 24.7 million living in designated dental care shortage areas.
