Can a quieter dental room help kids with intellectual disabilities get their teeth cleaned?
NCT ID NCT07413016
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares a sensory-adapted dental environment (with reduced noise, lighting, and other stimuli) to a regular dental setting for 200 children aged 6-7 with mild intellectual disability and moderate dental anxiety. The goal is to see if the adapted environment helps more children complete a dental polishing procedure within 25 minutes. If successful, it could offer a simple, non-drug way to improve dental care for this group.

Active substance
sensory-adapted dental environment
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple way to make dental visits less stressful and more successful for children with intellectual disabilities.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 200 children. The sensory-adapted environment may not work for everyone, and results may not apply to other age groups or dental procedures.
