Abstract
Background: Children with Autism exhibit impairment of fine motor co-ordination and sensory sensibilities and hence can directly affect the toothbrushing leading to poor oral hygiene.
Aim: This current systematic review and meta-analysis (SRMA) aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Video-based intervention of toothbrush training over other methods on improvement of oral hygiene in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) MATERIALS AND METHODS: Prospero no: (CRD42023450168). 'PubMed', 'Cochrane', 'Ovid' databases were searched from 1 January 1980 to 1 August 2023 using pre-defined search strategy.
Results: 212 titles were retrieved after, duplicate exclusion, removal of irrelevant titles led to the final inclusion of 13 articles for full text screening out of which 7 articles were included for the final analysis.
Conclusion: Even though video intervention reported better outcomes in individual studies, pooled data showed no significant superiority over other interventions such as social stories and picture-based interventions in relation to toothbrushing in children with ASD as indicated by the Plaque Index score (PI-S) and Oral hygiene index score (OHI-S).
