This study was conducted because data on the oral health status of CSHCN in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India, were unavailable.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aim:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The aim of the study was to determine the oral health status and treatment needs of individuals with special healthcare needs aged 3\u201319 years attending special institutes in Raipur district, Chhattisgarh, India.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A descriptive, institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted encompassing 684 CSHCN. Dental caries and oral hygiene status were recorded using the decayed, missing, and filled (DMFT)\/dmft and OHI-S indices as per the World Health Organization Basic Methods criteria, employing a complete enumeration sampling technique. All examinations were performed on-site at the institutions, with findings for every participant captured on a purpose-built mobile application.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Dental caries prevalence was 67.7%, with an overall mean DMFT\/dmft of 2.55. Mean DMFT\/dmft did not differ significantly with age or sex but differed significantly across disability type; it did not differ significantly across socioeconomic status (SES). Fair oral hygiene was seen in 51.5% and poor oral hygiene in 12.0%; poorer hygiene was significantly associated with older age, disability type, and lower SES. Overall, 93.4% of participants required dental treatment. Developmental enamel defects were present in 41.4%, traumatic dental injuries affected 10.2%, and 24.9% exhibited a deleterious oral habit.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A substantial and multifactorial unmet oral health need persists among CSHCN in Raipur; the findings indicate barriers to accessing dental care and caregiver awareness in relation to unmet oral health needs. Targeted interventions and policy reforms are vital for improving their oral health status.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jisppd.jisppd_407_26","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,22]],"date-time":"2026-09-22T17:00:51Z","timestamp":1790096451000},"page":"506-515","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Oral health status and treatment needs of children and adolescents with special healthcare needs in Raipur district of Central India: A cross-sectional study"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"44","author":[{"given":"Krupali","family":"Gadhvi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dentistry, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Virat","family":"Galhotra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dentistry, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rhea","family":"Gandham","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dentistry, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abhiruchi","family":"Galhotra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Community and Family Medicine, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Atul","family":"Jindal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Paediatrics, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tundup","family":"Dolker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dentistry, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mugilan","family":"Ravi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dentistry, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joseph","family":"Lepcha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dentistry, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maneesha","family":"Babu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dentistry, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"R5-20260923","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"119","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.bdj.2008.652","article-title":"Access to special care dentistry, part 4.
