Abstract

When compared to the other health services, intellectually disabled individuals encounter diffculties mostly in oral health care services. Inadequate communication, lack of cooperation and systemic health problems may be the causes of this situation. In this study, oral health care services provided for these individuals in Turkey are evaluated and suggestions for steps to be taken to improve the current system are presented.

Özet

Zihinsel engelli bireyler, diğer sağlık hizmetleri ile kıyaslandığında en fazla ağız sağlığı hizmetine ulaşımda güçlük çekmektedirler. İletişimin yetersiz olması, uyum eksikliği ve eşlik eden sistemik hastalıklar bu durumun sebebi olarak gösterilebilir. Bu çalışmada ülkemizde zihinsel engelli bireylere sunulan ağız-diş sağlığı hizmetleri irdelenmiş, eksikliklerin giderilmesi yönünde atılması gereken adımlar konusunda öneriler sunulmuştur.
