Abstract

The objective of this study was to assess the oral health knowledge and practices of pediatric nurses responsible for coordinating healthcare services for children with special needs. Additionally, the study aimed to determine the factors that impacted the nurses' perceived success in managing their patients' oral health requirements. This article provides an overview of the responsibilities of dentists, nurses, and social workers in dental rehabilitation for patients with cerebral palsy. Variations in oral health are seen among individuals with cerebral palsy across various age cohorts and living circumstances. These findings indicate a pressing requirement for further training and teaching on oral hygiene for the individuals responsible for providing care. Dental schools should enhance their preparation of graduates to effectively address the treatment requirements of patients with unique healthcare needs, which necessitates the collaboration of nurses, dentists, and social workers.
