- Abstract
In the realm of pediatric dentistry, children with special needs present unique challenges that demand innovative solutions beyond conventional techniques. This abstract delves into the pioneering methods tailored for such patients, emphasizing adaptability and patient-centric care. One notable technique involves the utilization of augmented reality tools, offering immersive dental education in a sensory-friendly manner. In addition, specialized dental chairs equipped with ergonomic features accommodate children with mobility limitations, ensuring both comfort and accessibility. Behavior management strategies have evolved to incorporate desensitization techniques and alternative behavior guidance methods, fostering a conducive environment for dental procedures. Furthermore, the integration of digital workflows facilitates seamless communication among interdisciplinary health-care teams, ensuring holistic and coordinated care. By embracing these innovative approaches, dental professionals can optimize outcomes, enhance patient experience, and promote oral health equity for children with special needs.
