The project has been designed in cooperation with the multi-professional team involved with the children. A total of sixteen children with autism participated in the project. Evaluation was done after 1.5 years. The ability of the children to cooperate is compared with that of sixteen children with autism of the same ages who were not treated with this method. The capacity of the children in the project to cooperate during dental treatment is superior to that of the control-children.
Visual pedagogy is a way of introducing dentistry to children with autism.
Biocompatibility of an adhesive system and 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate. The aim of the study was to evaluate the biocompatibility of an adhesive system and a resin component when implanted into connective tissue of rats. The intense connective reaction was replaced for fibroblastic proliferation associated with macrophages and foreign body giant cells over time. Both experimental materials did not show acceptable biocompatibility with connective tissue of rats in spite of allowing an evident connective tissue healing. Societal attitudes and perceptions of children with mental retardation have stigmatized and stereotyped generations of youngsters.
