Summary

This study uses interviews to learn how adults with disabilities and complex health conditions experience their mouth, oral health, and how these affect daily life and social participation. The goal is to see if a standard framework, the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), can help describe these experiences. Findings could lead to better ways to assess and support oral health in this population.

Active substance: Interview
What this could lead to: If successful, this research could help develop a comprehensive tool to assess oral health in disabled adults, considering both function and social environment.
What could go wrong: This is a small, qualitative study with only 18 participants, so findings may not apply broadly. It aims to gather insights, not to test a treatment.
