Abstract |
People with mental retardation have untreated oral health needs that are comparable or even greater than those of individuals in the general population. But dental students have limited experiences in providing care for patients with special needs. In addition, there are numerous other barriers that current practitioners must overcome if we are to provide needed services for a population that increasingly resides in our communities.
