Clinical Phenotypes

Background: Children on the autism spectrum may be at higher likelihood of poorer oral health or experience difficulties with dental health care. However, which children may be more vulnerable is still unknown. Aim: To investigate parental reports of oral health and dental service needs of children diagnosed with autism and explore relationships with clinical phenotypes. Design: Participants (n=140) were parents of children on the spectrum who had participated in a large biobank, the Australian Autism Biobank, and completed additional surveys about oral health, service use, and barriers to care. Results: One third of parents reported their child’s oral health was worse than other children the same age, with 26% reporting untreated dental problems. A third of children had undergone general anaesthesia at least once for dental procedures. Children who had undergone general anaesthesia were more likely to have intellectual impairments and greater functional difficulties. Parents of children with greater functional limitations and sensory challenges reported experiencing barriers to accessing dental care more frequently. Conclusions: These results have important implications for paediatric dentists working with children on the spectrum with co-occurring intellectual, functional, and sensory challenges. Findings may inform the development of more personalised supports for individuals on the autism spectrum.
