A Pilot Project to Facilitate Dental Care and Reduce Barriers For Youth With Disabilities

This randomized clinical trial is an innovative pilot project to determine the acceptance and impact of telehealth visits on youth with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), their caregivers, and dentists. The impact of the telehealth visit will be assessed by: 1) determining if the intervention group was more likely to achieve the set goals and 2) Likert scaled surveys of satisfaction of caregivers and dentists. Qualitative data will be collected to inform improvement on clinical interviews by the dentist.
