Children with Autism exhibit impairment of fine motor co-ordination and sensory sensibilities and hence can directly affect the toothbrushing leading to poor oral hygiene.
This current systematic review and meta-analysis (SRMA) aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Video-based intervention of toothbrush training over other methods on improvement of oral hygiene in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) MATERIALS AND METHODS: Prospero no: (CRD42023450168). 'PubMed', 'Cochrane', 'Ovid' databases were searched from 1 January 1980 to 1 August 2023 using pre-defined search strategy.
212 titles were retrieved after, duplicate exclusion, removal of irrelevant titles led to the final inclusion of 13 articles for full text screening out of which 7 articles were included for the final analysis.
Even though video intervention reported better outcomes in individual studies, pooled data showed no significant superiority over other interventions such as social stories and picture-based interventions in relation to toothbrushing in children with ASD as indicated by the Plaque Index score (PI-S) and Oral hygiene index score (OHI-S).
自闭症儿童存在精细运动协调和感觉敏感性受损的情况，因此会直接影响刷牙，导致口腔卫生状况不佳。
本系统评价和荟萃分析旨在评估基于视频的牙刷训练干预相对于其他方法对改善自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童口腔卫生的有效性。
国际前瞻性注册系统评价号：（CRD42023450168）。使用预定义的检索策略，于1980年1月1日至2023年8月1日检索了“PubMed”“Cochrane”“Ovid”数据库。
在排除重复项后检索到212个标题，去除不相关标题后，最终纳入13篇文章进行全文筛选，其中7篇文章纳入最终分析。
尽管在个别研究中视频干预报告了更好的结果，但汇总数据显示，根据菌斑指数评分（PI-S）和口腔卫生指数评分（OHI-S），在ASD儿童刷牙方面，视频干预相对于社会故事和基于图片的干预等其他干预措施并无显著优势。
