The role of joint consultant restorative and special care clinics in the community

Access to oral health care for people with disabilities is compromised by many factors. In particular, access to advanced restorative care from a Consultant in Restorative Dentistry may be difficult due to a lack of local service provision and problems encountered by people with disabilities in relation to travel. A model of care is described in this paper that provides equity of access to advanced restorative and special care dentistry in a community setting. A number of cases are presented showing successful outcomes achieved by the use of this model. One approach to ensuring equity of access to specialist advice and care, for people with disabilities who need special care, is to provide joint restorative and special care clinics in the community. Key words: Special care, advanced restorative care, access, joint clinics
