Summary:
Penelitian menunjukkan, Menyesuaikan lingkungan tempat praktek dokter gigi bisa membuat pembersihan rutin ber kurang stres nya untuk anak-anak dengan autisme . Anak-anak dengan gangguan spektrum autisme - serta beberapa anak tipikal developing children - sering menunjukkan respon yang meningkat untuk masukan sensorik dan ditemukan ini sensasi yang tidak nyaman . Dengan demikian , ruangan praktek gigi , dengan lampu yang terang , suara keras dari peralatan gigi , dan sentuhan anak di dalam dan sekitar mulut , menghadirkan tantangan tertentu untuk anak-anak tersebut.

For children
with autism, trips to the dentist just got easier

Summary:
Adjusting the environment of a dentist's office can make routine cleanings
less stressful for children with autism, research shows. Children with autism
spectrum disorders -- as well as some typically developing children -- often
show heightened responses to sensory input and find these sensations
uncomfortable. As such, the dental office, with its bright lights, loud sounds
from the dental equipment, and touch of children in and around the mouth,
present particular challenges for such children.

Going to the dentist might have just gotten a little less scary for the
estimated 1 in 68 U.S. children with autism spectrum disorder as well as
children with dental anxiety, thanks to new research from USC.
In an article published on May 1 by the Journal of Autism and
Developmental Disorders, researchers from USC and Children's Hospital Los
Angeles (CHLA) examined the feasibility of adapting dental environments to be
more calming for children with autism spectrum disorder.
"The regular dental environment can be quite frightening for children
with autism who, not knowing how to react, tend to be completely averse to
whatever we're trying to do," said one of the study's authors, José Polido
DDS, head of dentistry at CHLA and assistant professor at the Herman Ostrow
School of Dentistry of USC.
Children with autism spectrum disorders -- as well as some typically developing
children -- often show heightened responses to sensory input and find these
sensations uncomfortable. As such, the dental office, with its bright lights,
loud sounds from the dental equipment, and touch of children in and around the
mouth, present particular challenges for such children.
In the study, 44 CHLA patients -- 22 with autism and 22 "typically
developing" (defined as children not on the autism spectrum)--underwent
two professional dental cleanings. One cleaning took place in a regular dental
environment, the other in a sensory adapted dental environment. During each
session, the child's physiological anxiety, behavioral distress and pain
intensity were measured.
"I've talked to several parents who have said, 'We really put off
taking our child to the dentist because we know how hard it is and we know he's
going to scream and cry,'" said Sharon Cermak, the study's lead author and
professor at the USC Mrs. T.H. Chan Division of Occupational Science and
Occupational Therapy, as well as professor of pediatrics at the Keck School of
Medicine of USC.
To help combat that reaction, researchers adapted the dental environments
by turning off overhead office lights and headlamps, projecting slow-moving
visual effects onto the ceiling and playing soothing music.
Instead of using traditional means to secure the child in the dental chair,
practitioners used a seat cover that looked like a gigantic butterfly whose
wings wrapped around the child and provided a comforting, deep-pressure hug.
The research team found that both children who are typically developing as
well as those with autism spectrum disorders exhibited decreased psychological
anxiety and reported lower pain and sensory discomfort in the sensory-adapted
dental environment.
The study -- which represents a unique collaboration between pediatric
dentists and occupational therapists--could help improve oral health care for
children with autism -- a group reported to suffer from poor oral health,
research shows.
The findings could also represent a cost savings to the health care system,
with fewer insurance reimbursements paid to dental offices for the additional
staff members and general anesthesia often necessary for children with autism.
Next up for the researchers is to increase their sample size -- they'll be
using 110 children in each group -- to determine which factors (e.g. age,
anxiety, sensory over-responsitivity) best predict which children respond best
to the intervention.
"One of our long-term goals with this study is to help dentists
develop protocols for their own dental clinics to see how sensory components
are contributing to behavioral issues," Cermak said. "I think these
protocols can then be translated across the globe."
