Impact of oral health preventive program using specialized audio and tactile aids in visually impaired school children. A cross-sectional study.
Background: The maintenance of oral hygiene and subsequent health related issues in visually handicapped children is a challenging task. Hence, tools must be used to ensure good oral health in these children. The study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of preventive programs on oral health using specialized audio and tactile aids in visually impaired school children.
Materials and methods: 100 visually handicapped children were selected for the study. They were divided into two groups: Group A (Training using Braille) and Group B (training by means of audio aids). Children were trained using appropriate tools and oral health was assessed using Plaque and Gingival bleeding indices.
Statistical analysis: Independent 'T-test' was used for comparing mean ± SD values.
Results: Statistically significant improvements in both plaque and gingival bleeding indices were obtained on follow-up observations at 3rd and 6th months.
Conclusion: The use of specialized tactile and audio tools significantly improved the oral health status of visually impaired school children.
