描述（由申请人提供）：来自马萨诸塞州大学医学院（UMMS）的研究人员将与美国发育医学和牙科学院（AADMD）合作，完成一项旨在减少智障人群口腔健康差异的干预措施的系统性评价。国家和国际研究表明，智力残疾者更容易患上未经治疗的蛀牙和其他口腔健康并发症，这些并发症会对他们的整体健康产生负面影响。口腔保健的障碍包括政策和财政 这些因素包括限制获得必要护理的限制因素和缺乏训练有素的临床医生，以及与健康行为有关的因素，如限制容忍牙科手术的能力的个人因素，以及护理提供者最大限度地减少口腔健康重要性的态度。已经制定了干预措施来解决获取和口腔健康问题，但尚未进行系统研究。使用正式的协议，咨询委员会，专家审查小组和专家共识小组，研究小组将确定和审查广泛的干预措施，以改善这一人群的口腔健康。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Researchers from the University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMMS) will partner with the American Academy of Developmental Medicine and Dentistry (AADMD) to complete a systematic review of interventions that aim to reduce disparities in oral health in the population with intellectual disability. National and internationl research has demonstrated that people with intellectual disability are at greater risk of experiencing untreated tooth decay and other oral health complications that can negatively impact their general health and wellness. Barriers to oral health care include policy and financial constraints and a lack of trained clinicians that limit access to necessary care, and factors related to health behaviors such as personal factors limiting the ability to tolerate dental procedures, and attitudes that minimize the importance of oral health among care providers. Interventions have been developed to address both access and oral health issues but have not been systematically studied. Using a formal protocol, an advisory committee an expert review panel, and an expert consensus panel, the research team will identify and review a wide range of interventions for their effectiveness to improve the oral health in this population.
