Dental Management of Handicapped Child

¿The best & the most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart. - Hellen Keller.¿ Special and medically compromised patients present a unique population that challenges the dentist's skills and knowledge. The handicapped patients differ from normal patients with regard to professional relationship between patient and the dentist. Therefore with adequate training and understanding of the various medical complications and handicapping conditions and with adequate alteration in the dentist's treatment protocol these patients can be managed well. We in paediatric dentistry have been given a unique opportunity to serve these children by virtue of the families who seek our care. If you still haven¿t received the opportunity, don¿t miss your next chance!!!
