The study examined the potential barriers to dental care for a selected sample of 57 adults suffering from cerebral palsy. The majority (60 per cent) were regular dental attenders and they received dental care in general dental practice and community dental practice in almost equal numbers. Those with mobility or communication difficulties were significantly more likely to attend the community or hospital dental services (P < 0.05). Their most common perceived barriers to dental care were fear, the need to be accompanied and negative attitudes, while cost was a rarely stated barrier. A dislike of dental treatment was significantly related to irregular attendance (P < 0.05) but neither anxiety nor the need to be accompanied were significantly related to attendance pattern.
该研究调查了57名成年脑瘫患者样本在接受牙科护理时可能遇到的障碍。大多数人（60%）定期看牙医，他们在普通牙科诊所和社区牙科诊所接受牙科护理的人数几乎相等。行动不便或沟通有困难的人更有可能去社区或医院牙科服务机构就诊（P < 0.05）。他们认为牙科护理最常见的障碍是恐惧、需要有人陪同和消极态度，而费用则是很少提到的障碍。不喜欢牙科治疗与不定期就诊显著相关（P < 0.05），但焦虑和需要有人陪同与就诊模式均无显著关联。
