How would you manage periodontal treatment with a patient who is nervous and has cerebral palsy?

A

Acclimatisation with short appointments.
Starting with prevention unless the patient is in pain.
NCTSL, periodontal disease, caries, drooling, xerostomia are common in patients with cerebral palsy.
- Gaining appropriate consent.
- Treatment modifications. (wheelchairs/hoists/stability aids/carer.)
- Different motor skills determine OHI modifications.
- Sedation or GA referral depending on patient anxiety for restorations.

PMPR – May hand scale due to patient being nervous to gradually integrate them into the dental practice
Longer appointments.
Treating xerostomia with saliva promoting tablets.
