New study to compare tooth decay impact in visually impaired vs. sighted kids
NCT ID NCT07665047
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This observational study will compare dental caries (tooth decay) experiences and quality of life between visually impaired and sighted children aged 6 to 14. Researchers will use a special questionnaire to measure how cavities affect daily life, and will also count decayed, missing, and filled teeth. The goal is to understand if visual impairment leads to worse dental health outcomes.
