First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether adding extra dental checkups and video calls with a dentist could improve oral hygiene in children with cleft deformities. Sixty children aged 3 to 15 took part. The program included a longer dental visit and teleconsultations every two months. Researchers measured tooth decay and gum health to see if the extra care made a difference.
