[Results of regular dental care of mental and physical handicapped patients].
The results of the regular dental care of 192 mental and physical handicapped patients were analysed in a 5-year-period. The care system in which the prevention, the therapy in narcosis and the annual control are combined is very effective on a long-term basis. The handicapped patients had a lower prevalence of caries, a higher percentage of filled teeth and less extractions compared to a group of handicapped patients without continuous dental care.
