Abstract
Background: Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) encompass a range of conditions characterized by difficulties in social interaction and communication. Managing dental treatment for children with autism presents challenges due to their reluctance to interact with dentists, which can be as high as 65%.
Objectives: This prospective non-randomized study, conducted at the Kazakh-Russian Medical University from January 15, 2023, to June 20, 2023, aimed to assess the efficacy of air abrasion caries treatment (AAbCT) compared to the standard method.
Intervention: The intervention involved applying air abrasion (AAb) treatment without anesthesia using aluminum oxide powder in the AAbCT group, while the control group received cavity preparation with local anesthesia.
Results: In this study, it was noted that the AAb method of tooth preparation was not different in efficacy from the traditional method for a population of children with autism, and could be used without anesthesia. A greater willingness to cooperate was noted (p = .0372).
Conclusion: The AAb is an effective and safe treatment for children with ASD. Further studies needed to investigate its efficacy and safety in combination with behavioral interventions.
