What does a healthy mouth mean for people with disabilities?
NCT ID NCT04815434
First seen Aug 07, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026
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.

- 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.
